The story itself sits comfortably at a 3-star level — engaging, interesting, though occasionally repetitive and a bit longer than necessary.

Unfortunately, the audiobook quality dragged the entire experience down. The female narrator was shockingly bad. It sounded like she recorded the entire thing through a laptop mic while whispering so as not to wake a sleeping baby next to her. No energy, no clarity, just a flat, muffled delivery that made it hard to stay engaged. Honestly, it was so distracting I almost didn’t finish. This performance desperately needs a re-recording with proper equipment
