2.0

According to my handy dandy Kindle listening app I gave up on that at the 28% complete mark. It was disappointing because I've had a hardcover of this book for ages and kept trying to get to it. I was super excited to see it on audio in the free amazon-prime-bundle-thingy. The world building was very nice, it just needed characters and some plot. I'm sure there was a plot coming eventually (I hope) but if it's not there by 28% and if at that point I don't really care about the characters either it's time to move on.

Didn't work for me but if you're into talking about diseases a lot and enjoy alternate history, missionaries in foreign lands working with "savages" and have the patience/time to wait for the plot then go for it..
