I had to listen to the last hour again to be sure I hadn't missed something. I want so much more for every woman in this novel.
The 2007 audiobook was skillfully narrated by Simon Vance, in which he changes his voice for every character. I was a bit confused when some of the other voice actors chimed for certain characters at points in the story, but then those characters went back to Vance's voice. This was a minor distraction to an altogether fascinating story, which mixed sci-fi, mysticism, politics, and action into the first book of an epic series.

Notes from my re-read, because of the film release
1. I'd forgotten everything but the basic plot elements.
2. The world-building is amazing.
3. The adaptation is a work of art, and a labor of love. The respect for the source material shows at every dialog.
