Dreadful narration

*** 2.5 Stars ***

First, the narrator for the audio version of this book was horrible. I had to slow it done. Then, I kept thinking that surely this was an AI generated narration. Sadly no it wasn’t unless Audible is now naming their AIs. I wanted to stop so many times but it is a short story so I powered through. The story itself is decent. As with most short stories, it had some holes in it that felt like time jumps. I also think whoever edited this one didn’t do their due diligence. Overall it was an okay decent story.
