Anika Noni Rose almost rivals Queen Bahni Turpin in her audiobook performance! She should definitely be narrating more books, she creates fully differentiated characters with tone, accent, and pacing, it's really impressive. I think I would have been a true 4 for this book if I had read it closer to finishing the 2nd book in the series, which I really enjoyed. Too much time had passed and it wasn't until about halfway through that I clicked back in. Characters are great, good to see the origin story of the Shadowshaping powers and tying everything back to the Puerto Rican homeland/El Yunque power narrative, but I didn't think he did a great job actually explaining why those powers fought against one another. His dialogue ranges from spot on to slightly cheesy, but the friendships and romance ring true. A solid conclusion to the series.
