The narration was amazing. That is about all I enjoyed. I understand it can be difficult to translate a graphic novel into an audiobook, but i found the netflix show adaptation much more entertaining. Some of the subplots were very boring and there was a lot of abuse conveyed on women that I felt was over the top and added for no apparent reason.

Very strong trigger warning for

"Calliope" as the rape scene in it has sound affects. "24 hours" is also tough as the violence has sound effects too. I personally could handle that better.
