Narration problematic but story good

I found it very difficult to get into the story because the narrator makes every sentence sound like a question. She lets het voice go up at the end of each sentence… very distracting. I considered giving up on the audio version and just reading the book, but I persevered and enjoyed the story.

Great story, mediocre performance

The story is great. The performance was mediocre. All male characters sound the same, and dialogues were often poorly performed.

Also, saying "rescue" when it should be "recuse" (twice!) should be disqualifying for a book like this, and not noticing that it's been done is a quality control failure.
