Great stories but it sounds like it is narrated by the love-child of Alexa (or perhaps Cortana?) and a local news reader. Seriously, I couldn't concentrate on the words because the delivery is so... baffling.

The narration ruins it

Blast!
Good stories marred by the robotic, newsflash style narration.
Bizarrely in an attempt to rid myself of the curse I decided to purchase the paperback version...when midway through chapter two the narrators voice started creeping back in!
Double blast!!

Awful narration
