Still fairly confused by the names and places, but the company side of things is fairly easy to follow which seems to be enough.
Almost certainly reading rather than listening.
The book could definitely provide more context though when switching back and forth.

Very interesting so far, but a couple of complaints.
First, the narrative is quite confusing. We’re hearing about events in multiple regions with no clear explanation of their relation to each other. Same with characters.
The other problems are audiobook specific.
So second is that the narrator needs to quote-unquote because it’s really hard to tell.
Lastly names. In writing fine, in audio much harder.

The English were soon known as X (sister fucker) and Y (daughter fucker) which my modest language will not interpret…
Don’t worry, your audio book narrator did it for you 🤣
