Good book, not so good narration

As the title states, the book was good. I just didn’t enjoy the virtual voice. It doesn’t convey emotion at all.

The issue I had with the book itself was that we didn’t get enough monsters. I was excited to read this based on the fact that there were some evil lurking in the woods. But it was more about the survivors of the aftermath, then the entities themselves. The book touched on these new species and how the town lost power, but it wasn’t enough (in my opinion). I’m moving on to book 2 in hopes of getting answers.

Great book AI narration kinda stinks

it was a good story for sure but the AI doesn't come close to being read by a real life person

The narration was distracting and not very good

The narration was distracting from the story. I don’t think I can listen to the computer narration and enjoy a book.

really enjoyed the story

I Enjoyed the book the AI wasn't bad at all great story line now I'm starting book 2

Edge of your seat story

Despite complaints about the AI voice narration, this was a very good story. Every major character had depth, and there was a realism to their human flaws, frailties and virtues. It is a story of good versus evil, and as it developed it kept me on the edge of my seat. Well, written action, sequences; A nice mix of science, fiction, thriller, with a touch of dystopian literature. Though the AI voice lacks emotion, my imagination was able to compensate. And it was worth it. Looking forward to book 2. Strongly recommend

Hate virtual voice

The story is good but I really hate the virtual voice narration. I don’t have any other comments

Great book

The history is really good. Great characters. Virtual voice is not good, but the history makes it worthwhile.

Stop using AI Voice

Please stop using AI voice, it completely detracts from the storyline with nonhuman inflections, nuances and appropriate emotions. I know it probably makes you more profit in the short term, but you will lose profits when listeners refuse to listen to audio books using AI Voice, no matter how good the story. This book would have been a 5 if you chose to hire one of our phenomenal audio book narrators.

Virtual voice is a bad idea 

It was a really good story. But the virtual voice is not a good delivery system.

Good story

Good storyline that kept my attention from first page to last. I have read complaints about the AI voice but it didn't bother me at all. I was into the story and never once thought about the voice.
