Sometimes I can get into the audiobook when the book book doesn’t click with me. I read the first few pages, and I think this would be one of those. It’s well written, there’s just a lot of details and some cultural context that I’m not too familiar with. That can happen with translated books. It’s part of the charm, I think, but it takes a little more effort to read. Plus it’s just a complex story.

Somehow the narration makes it easier for me to really get into it. As long as the narrator is good, and this guy is. His voice is a little stiff, but it kind of fits with the book. It’s growing on me.

He’s white. Short dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a short beard. His face is a little narrow. I only saw a few pictures, but it looks like he might be on the taller side with a trim build. Probably in his thirties or forties.

Romance is one of the few genres I don’t read, but he does have a nice voice.
