I liked the story, and the narrator did a really good job, but I feel that there should have been more of a back story to explain a lot of the unique terminology and and circumstances within the story itself. Maybe a chapter could have been added towards the end that would have explained in better details, and it seems like they attempted to when they started talking about the history but it wasn't quite enough and it feels like I picked up the 2nd or 3rd book in a series rather than the 1st. That being said there may be more explanations in books to come hard to say. A very interesting take on take on a futuristic distopian world though old though.
