This title uses virtual voice narration

Virtual voice is computer-generated narration for audiobooks.
Bound to a cruel grandfather, thirteen-year-old Ricky Valian is an orphan and a thief. Compelled to steal a valuable item in a public place, Ricky uses the only trick he knows, a magic trick. His crime doesn’t go unobserved. The Dean of Doubli Academy witnesses the theft and recognizes Ricky’s latent talent, volunteering to become Ricky’s guardian at the boy’s trial. Ricky finds himself, unlettered and untutored in sorcery, in a place filled with students. As he struggles with his unexpected circumstances, Ricky becomes a target of a vicious bully, who may not be above taking the life of someone who gets in his way.

Good story; plenty of beleaguered protagonist obstacles, identifiable characters, an d absorbing plot. AI voice was so good I forgot it wasn't real.

Good story

Liked story. Voice has flat inflection at end of sentences . Might be cheaper but a fair human narration would get 4 plus ratings…

Virtual voice ruins story

Was a good story, it had all the makings of a fluid light listen but with enough action to make it enjoyable…… BUT the most terrible thing of all was the AI.. with its exclamations and verbal lilts that were after every sentence. I can’t believe that I even listened to the whole book. It made me feel like the main character was some emotionless victim of terrible circumstances. I went ahead and just took the abuse from the AI my ears may need therapy after being subjected to it, but I will say hopefully this writer or it’s publisher can afford a good verbal actor and I feel that this would be well like. It has the makings of great in between your favorite series as you wait for your next credit type of book….…… yes I said Ear Therapy!

Hmph…

I do not recommend having virtual voice read a novel. It is dry and monotone.
