I'm able to catch up on my reading list even during the busiest days. The narrators have a way of bringing characters to life β it's a unique experience. Listening to audiobooks has become a ritual, thanks to this incredible app. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldnβt call it unforgettable. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks and this narrator is now in my top 5. Their timing and inflection were masterful. Never a dull moment in the entire performance.
