Light and cozy

Virtual voice did a bad job of intonation as well as missing punctuation cues. I listening to it was not pleasant.

Good plot.

All the characters sounded alike. I couldn’t tell who was talking to whom. Very distracting.

AI should not be used to read a novel

The AI as a reader was very bad. I didn’t enjoy that part at all. I had to insert what I felt they should be expressing as they read the story was good. The reading was not.

AI Kills any Story

AI is great in so many ways, but AI reading a book is horrific. The story could have been interesting, but the characters were never flushed out enough for you to care about them. I just found that the book was free for a reason.
