This is clearly for young women

I’m a senior man who should have followed my rule of thumb to avoid novels written by women about women, despite good reviews. This might actually be okay for teenage female readers, if they can get used to the vagaries of the Virtual Voice narration, but I could only make it halfway. I wish more reviews and publishers’ blurbs would more clearly identify books best suited for YAs.

virtual voice natural intonation

I am picturing future generations with the odd flat intonation of the virtual voice. Something is lost. I imagine that it is much less expensive than using a real human actors expertise.
The story is quite interesting.

AI Narrative

The AI Narration is horrible there is no emotion. The story line was good. I will never listen to an AI narration again even if it’s free.
