I have started listening to this book at 1.5x speed, something I rarely do, because although Ikenna is irritating as fuck in her rashness and inability to catch on when people are manipulating her, I still want to find out whether she chooses to stick with the bigoted republic in which she was raised, whose rulers killed her grandfather, or do the sensible thing and defect to the substitute family who were reaching out to her and offering her support as well as an escape hatch.
