I have read a few EG books but this one I found very hard to follow. All the jumping around time zones and mass of female characters made it very hard to keep up with, possibly made harder as I was listening to this on audible - may have been easier if I was reading a physical book and could keep referring back..

I didn’t particularly bond with any lf the characters either which was a shame - in the end I was just wanting the book to finish so I could move on to another!

Hmmmm
