Narration is horrendous

Artificial Intelligence narration is a short cut that Authors and Publishers should AVOID at all costs. The amount of mispronounced words are cringe worthy.

As far as the subject matter goes, there's several times I've noticed the author tweaked certain aspects to non historical facts and is particularly careful to lean to a certain narrative.

In short, this could be much better. There's some hidden Gems in this book but its surrounded by a forced narrative thats read to you by a soulless robot that constantly reads words wrong and makes them echo in your head for weeks. Avoid.
