Same reader, and difficult to understand her heavy accent.

See above. Also, limited inflection.

Loved the narration
Not sure why the strong reactions to the narration. I think it’s excellent!Strong accent (which I got used to quickly) but clear enunciation, appropriate cadence and spot on emotionality. Slowing the speed down to 0.8x helped me the accent issue.
Also enjoyed the stories which varied but generally lessons of morality, tales of bizarre and somewhat dark human experiences and fanciful tales of mystery.

Terrible
The reader is awful. Her cadence is atrocious. Don't buy this book. It's simply terrible.
