Difficult to get past virtual voice.

Virtual voice ruins a good story - mispronounced words, odd pauses in sentences and terrible inflections.

AI voice, no thank you

I hadn’t listened to a book recorded by AI before so I tried it. There was more inflection than I expected but it was often lacking. Obviously it stole my focus from the text. I may read the other novels in the series but I won’t be listening if they are AI as well.
