... I know, I know -- but I work and commute for so many hours of my life and quite frankly, I'm bored and need something to entertain me.
Anyway, the book was impossible to follow. I am keeping it around, in case I decide to give it another try, but everything I've read about it supports the fact that it is quite difficult to follow as an audiobook, with the fabricated language.

I listened to the free The Gathering Storm prologue audiobook a while back, and that threw me off completely even though I totally knew what all the fake words were already ...

As it is a major spoiler for the book, I don't think you'll see it. *NM*

Considering the story as a whole, I strongly disagree that it's a major spolier. *NM*

It ruins the tension of the entire first 1/3 or more of the novel.
