- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5The narrators sucks. First one sounds like she's crying and that made me can't focus!! I'd rather hear Google AI talking. Seriously. The book is great! The narratos made me quit this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I watch HelloFutureMe's on writing and world building videos on YouTube and wanted to support the books in some way as he gives really great breakdowns in an easy to understand way. He actually has two more books volume 2 and 3. I'm hoping someone will see this and do an audio book for those as well. If I were an advanced writing teacher I would use his books. Great info. Highly recommend.
