I can't believe how much time I've gained by listening while cooking and doing chores. Navigating through chapters is a breeze. I can easily jump to the parts I want to listen to. Listening stats keep me motivated to read more. Great addition! Highly engaging! The combination of a well-written story and skilled narration made this audiobook hard to pause. I finished it much faster than I expected because I just couldn’t stop listening. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
