This was an (unnecessary) reminder of why I hate anything to do with current law and politics. 
I think it was well written but it made me feel really depressed so it was hard to focus on the story of it. I could not find any character to like or root for. Plus I listened to the audiobook pretty late as it was due and I was sleepy, so the experience was rushed. (That's not affecting my rating bc it's my own fault but worth mentioning that it impacts my review)
I think I want to read something else by the author bc it seems that he is quite good, and I'd like to try his writing on a topic that sits better with me.
