Narration ruins all witty banter!

This author does cute, witty dialog. This narrator ruins all of it. First off, the general narration feels like someone is trying to zen you to meditation not read a cute funny book. Then, the witty remarks should at least be deliverers in a dead pan, but with a soft upward lilt — it’s TERRIBLE. Maybe the narrator didn’t get the humor? I will NEVER listen to another book by this narrator!

Narration was frustratingly slow. Also, can we get a male narrator? All the men sounded ridiculous rather than romantic

Wanted a little more in the end to the story but definitely worth the listen. Female narrator was very “young rom-com” in her narration/ inflection which gets old as it cheapens the writing somehow.

Fun characters with good development, a unique storyline, and a little quirky sense of humor combine to make this an enjoyable listen. I’ll be looking for more from this author!

Good concept. Needed to jump around less, lots of going back to explain in the next section. I liked how the characters were real - no archetypes but multifaceted with strengths and weaknesses. I have no ability to judge if the technical details were plausible but satellites were not on my radar at all until this book...

Telling a character’s entire premise from the basis of her sexual desire in the first chapter is lazy writing.

Could not finish. Glad it was a free original or I’d be asking for my
money back. Don’t waste your time.

Cute but implausible story at first, fun narration. Story became kind of ridiculously shortened and simple at the end, like the author gave up.

I have enjoyed the writing style of the author significantly for this entire series. Then all of a sudden, first person narrative jumps in the middle of the story. It’s like watching a great action film, and then suddenly you switch to some guy sitting in a chair saying “and then I...”, while you struggle to. It let the campfire tale pull you away from the engaging action.

The narrator is fabulous as always. He is the only thing that made the above bearable. Hopefully Greaney realizes his mistake and doesn’t write the next book like this.l, or this will be my last Gray Man...

I enjoyed the story, but I treasured every word by the narrator. He made an adventure engaging yet soothing. I will be listening to more done by him!

To my American ears, the narration was very difficult to listen to, made slightly easier to understand by listening at 1.25 speed. The beginning is so full of detailed descriptions that the movement of the storyline was lost. Good storyline overall, but the voice distinctions by the narrator were so poorly done, I had to rewind and listen again (at 1.0 and 1.25 speed) enough to have detracted significantly from this book.
