book was beautiful. the narrator’s vocal tones ruin for female and children was annoying. Perhaps multi- cast would be better.

I've been trying to determine why I liked other books in this series more, and I'm just not sure. Each story is wonderful on it's own, but I also love the memories of stories before. This is a lovely book. I'll listen again in the future. It may have just been my own state of mind...

Love
