I think I'm continuing to listen to these books only to find out if X happens, or not. X might be "the current government of humanity joins the conclave"; "current government of humanity gets removed and humanity joins the conclave"; "the conclave dissolves?" stuff like that.
I finished the book, a few minutes later opened this window to write what I thought about it and drew blank; I thought nothing about it. Maybe it's one of those you need to stew on?
Oh, there was one joke that made me laugh out loud towards the end of the book. "I don't have a treason problem. I can stop any time!"
But yeah, I think I only care about one character in this book - the World.
