Just finished up The Terror by Dan Simmons. Part high seas (sorta) adventure novel based on the very real John Franklin mission to find the Northwest passage and part native people myth crossed into a huge work.
I listened to this on and off for almost 2 months. There are times, closer to the start, where the pacing is odd. There are times where the chronology is pushed around and without the ability to flip pages back and forth it got a little bogged down. Towards the end, the pacing really gets going and you are invested in the characters. I was sorry when two of them went and joyful when another did.
Dan Simmons is known for his big books, and this is no exception. Runs about 800 pages in a hardback. John Lee, the narrator, is amazing. He also narrated Simmons’s Drood
