It was all right

I think the concept was there. I think it was poorly written.
And the AI voice does not help at all.

Interesting story line

Kept me interested throughout. I enjoyed the history references and I always find Vatican content interesting because perhaps there is some level of validity, who knows?

Good story, AWFUL narrator

I really disliked the “AI” narrator. It mispronunciation words that it previously pronounced correctly. There was no emotion in the reading. The overall story was good which luckily kept me on the hook but it took me a long time to get through this book due to the terrible narration.

AI narrator needs help

The AI narrator makes basic mistakes with words like rush and line. There is no long breaks between paragraphs, which in the book marks a story transition, especially with a story that goes back and forth in time. The monotone makes a thrilling story fall flat. This makes the story harder to follow.

Storyline lacking

AI narrator extremely mechanical- mispronunciations - ruined this audiobook. Storyline lacking depth and richness- some character background shallow.

Couldn’t Finish

The computer narration was not as good as a person. The main character’s name was pronounced two different ways and was annoying as heck. Since a human was not narrating, there were not different voices for different characters. I could only hear 3 hours and I couldn’t finish.
