Outstanding

Love Alex the main character, they’re a delight. I enjoyed how the various characters and relationships were presented. I am mildly claustrophobic and parts of this were very unnerving. The horror this time is a combination of setting and monster and both parts are excellent. I got exactly what I wanted from this book and as usual the narrator did a wonderful job.

Robot voice?

I enjoyed the book itself, but the narrator made really bad choices. They gave the main character a very unnatural and robotic voice. The cadence and flow was unbearable. It felt like a bad AI reading of the book. Not for every character, just the main character and their inner monologue, which is a significant portion of the book.
