A Good Story Let Down By the Narrator
This is the second book in the series. The first was dismal mostly because of the poor narration. This book has unfortunately the same problem with the same narrator. For reasons that seem bizarre the narrator cannot seem to pronounce simple words. For example:
‘Petitioner’ she pronounces as ‘Partitioner’
‘Moon-Calf eyes’ is pronounced as ‘Moon Cave Eyes’
‘Quay’ which should be pronounced like ‘key’ she pronounces it ‘Karwaii’!!!!
and the list goes on and on....
It is also one of those annoying storyline’s where there is a complete over use of the words ‘insouciance’ and ‘ennui’ which by a miracle the narrator can pronounce!!!
Some female narrators are good at doing male voices. Unfortunately this narrators male voices all sound like Popeye!
I will be asking for a refund for this book.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
