I liked this, but it took a while to get used to the different POVs - and I like multiple POV books, I guess I'm just more used to a name or symbol at the top than I would have thought. (I suspect it'd be very frustrating in audio, if it's just one narrator.) I found the pace pretty slow and the writing could have used more editing, and trying to get back into the story over and over didn't help that impression.
I liked that there were several strong female protagonists, but just too many story threads for my taste. And again, I usually like that - just not here. Too much emphasis on winter and starving for reading this in November with winter, my least-favorite time of the year, coming on, probably... but I'm not likely to give this another chance in a different season.
