The female narrator’s intonation is soooo bad…. Every sentence sounds like a question. And they’re not all questions

Story seems great but what is the deal with the female narrator’s intonation?

Slow burn and I was so confused as to what was happening. So much so that when I finished the audiobook I looked up a plot summary which helped explain everything a bit better.
I wasn't a fan of Raeves voice either.

I got so lost

It's been a while since I read a novel like this... the female main character is not whiny nor is she waiting to be rescued or be prepared to face her own battles by the male main character. The world building is nice, took me a few chapters to wrap my head around it, but once I did, It went smoothly onwards. can't wait for the second installment of the series.

A pleasant surprise
