I'm blown away by the attention to detail in every aspect of this app. Kudos to the developers for optimizing this app for iOS 16. It runs like a dream on my device. A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
