Narration is disappointing

The voice is clear and natural sounding, but it lacks life. Same voice, tone, and inflection no matter which character is speaking. Hard to get lost in the story when I am trying to understand who said what. This was just the book being read aloud. Not a story being told. I would expect AI to be capable of assigning different voices for each character at minimum.
This narration is was I would expect from a text book in school or my emails being read.
Story was good.

story seems alright

the artificial narration kills it. no emotion, mispronounced words. seems like a good story, but i can't do it with the fake narrator

Get past virtual voice and it’s PHENOMENAL

The only draw back is the virtual voice, but this is such a great story

Great steampunk story, but needs a real narrator.

I loved the story. Alternate history, steampunk, and a touch of supernatural is a great combination. But virtual voice just doesn't do it justice.

Loved the story!

Excellent story, with a not unpleasant AI narrator. I’m fairly certain I will listen again.
