Kudos to the developers for optimizing this app for iOS 16. It runs like a dream on my device. A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another. The subtle background music at key moments enhanced the experience without being distracting. More audiobooks should use this technique when appropriate!

The narration was clear and the pacing appropriate, though the delivery lacked some emotional depth. The production quality was acceptable with no major technical issues.
