In the Lives of Puppets

DID NOT FINISH: 27%

I'm going to try reading it but I can't listen to the audiobook. It has taken me 10 days to get 4 hours into the book listening on 3x speed and I keep losing interest.

On the scale of Becky Chambers to David Weber this leans more towards the Chambers side (meaning it is less hard science-technical). The relationships between the characters, how they grow and change throughout the book felt so real and meaningful. Definitely a unique take and I cant wait to read more.
