"okay, but..."
Is is really necessary to use foul language? Not everyone wants to hears those words. I liked the characters, but won't be listening to or reading another in the series.
"Too many descriptions"
I finally gave up and fast forwarded to see how it ended. Maybe I should have found an abridged version. I found all the 'shades of black and white and gray' tedious. And all the character description of how they felt, what they saw, what they were thinking was unnecessary. The premise was interesting, but got lost in all the repetition.
Narration was good.
I wouldn't cut a character....I would cut the repetitive descriptions of what things looked like and how people felt. I got the picture the first time round!
