This is so not for me. There are so many metaphors being applied that are beyond unnecessary. It’s all this literary gravitas being laid over the top of the story that redirects the focus onto the people telling the story, rather than the story itself. And the audiobook version is stilted because the authors are not trained voice actors and it shows. This just isn’t landing for me.
