cool! Abercrombie is doing something really fun by having the "side quests" be amazing events that actually reveal a lot about the world and character backgrounds as opposed to "go get the key to this box" type of plot filler.

Did GR really just take away the ability to add tags while also writing your review? So new UI less features?

Still interesting, but unfortunately it seems this is more of a book about O'meara's self discovery and platform for various other social issues. She has come clean about her own hero worship, but I still feel like the lens of book is rather rose colored. I still like where she's coming from but this book feels a first book.

Overall I'm really enjoying, but I'm also growing more worried about the author's partiality. I find that she's making more and more assumptions and connecting things that must seem obvious to her and her very personal connection with her subject. I just hope she can remain objective and tell HER story, not the story of how great she things she was.

LOL oh god the auido book narrated by Frank Marcopolos is SO BAD. Avoid him at all costs. Get AI to do it for you. It's good for a laugh, but cringe all over the place. :P
