Much better with a human narrator.

I listened to the AI version and found it wanting the human touch. The overall story is great, with touches of the Hillis family abilities. I can't wait for book 2 with a human narrator.

LOVED IT!

Awesome story about an OP heroine with isekai abilities. It also has a hint of time travel because she travels to a world where fashion, medicine, technology, etc… has seen no progress. I like how they were awed by the heroine. It feels good to read a story where nothing goes wrong or if it does, you know the heroine will always win.

P.S. Upside or downside, there’s no hint of romance.

Great parallel universe concept!

What was great about this book was it kept the plot very straight forward with a super fun concept that while isn’t realistic technically could be realistic. I loved the concept of the main characters being in the medical field to really demonstrate how although we are still struggling with cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s etc just how advanced we really are and how grateful we should be. The couple of suggestions I would have for the author for future books in the series would be:
1. Stop the reverse sexism against men. The book is so man hating and makes it seem like all men are these vial sex craving creatures and actually less intelligent and weaker (both emotionally and physically) than women. It would be great to have a very strong intelligent male character to show the Kirth just how EQUAL males and females are instead of just making the book a clearly extreme leftist/feminist viewpoint. Remember actions speak louder than words!

I am a 41 year old single female and own my own business and do not rely on men, but I believe the majority of men are rocks emotionally, don’t see women as less, aren’t rapists and are just as wonderful and strong as I am.

2. To have the main character think her gift could have come from God instead of having a clearly hard core atheist viewpoint. The majority of our world believes in God and/or a higher power and it was quite offensive to me that the main character wouldn’t even contemplate that her gift came from God.
