The pacing is deliberate yet urgent, mirroring the book’s exploration of time itself—a central theme in the story’s countdown to societal collapse. While some might find the relentless focus on abortion laws a strain, this audiobook demands attention for its powerful narrative and critical examination of gender roles.
