"Narrator is way too distracting"
I love Kenyon and all of her stories, but this narrator makes it very difficult to hear the story. Her speaking is unnatural, pronouncing every syllable, and putting emphasis on the wrong words. I find myself having to rewind to hear the story because my mind has gone off on a tangent on how that sentence should have been emphasized.
That being said, the story is interesting. It takes a bit to get into it because the details at the beginning are stingy, but I think that's the idea. I'll listen to the following books, as well, and just grit my teeth having to hear the same narrator.
