Really? 🙄

OMG. Not the most sophisticated writing. In fact it sounds like it might have been a high school short story assignment. I went back to the listing to see if there was actually a writer, because I thought the basic sentence structure, syntax, and repetitive nature of the writing might have been created by an early AI bot.

Usually, there is a link attached to the authors in Audible. But not Egan Sheridan. I looked him up on line, and he does have a page, so presumably he's a real person.

But it's the narration that really stands out in this selection.

While there is some vocal inflection in the narration, it is completely divorced from the events in the story. Even when the written narrative suggests a vocal intonation, like fatigue or worry, the narration does not express it.

Even at the most dire moments of the story, the voice is chipper, reading with a constant, consistent tempo that expresses neither the events or the emotions being described.

The story is a bit more LGBT than I expected, including one somewhat graphic scene. I guess that's what MM romance refers to.

Overall, not very mature writing, and badly narrated.

It was under 3 hours long, so I listened while working in the garden. Not the kind of book you can sink your teeth into. Or your mind.
