It took me a while to get into the story in large part because the audiobook narration was so off-putting. All female characters sound like stereotyped camp gay men, while all children sound like stereotyped simpletons. I kept feeling like I was listening to an outdated homophobic bigoted sitcom. I tried powering through but the story felt quite facile & formulaic so I DNF’d it at about half way. For some reason I went back to it after a break & tried again.
After a while I began to enjoy the story & was able to skim my thoughts past my displeasure with the narration. By the end I’d become somewhat curious to see what would happen next but not so much that I’ll listen to any more audiobooks read by this voice actor. If my curiosity ever rises to a level where I decide to read more then I’ll borrow the ebook instead.
