This book suffers from doing too much and being unable to stick the landing, unfortunately. Super interesting concept and solid writing that got so bogged down by the breadth of what it was trying to cover that it just fizzled out into a nonending as an excuse to not actually resolve anything. Even though I guessed the twist at like the 45% mark, I was still vibing until about 60% when it started to struggle under its own weight. The audiobook was really good which I think helped my overall enjoyment too.
