so far good. a minor thing i take issue with, calling old age deterioration by a term like dementia… in this ottoman empire ish setting and time period with magic, why would they not have their own term and understanding for that condition?

i’m begging fantasy and sci-fi authors (& audiobook producers) who do made up names non-common names: do a list of names so listeners can see them.

also i thought they were leading up to george being a secret thrown away child when they were talking about the agatha maid babies but nope. but then george really was secret rich baby so shrug.

holy crap that was a bad time. i was up to 2.5 speed by the end.

i want to clarify and say that what i mean by “not boring” is that there’s always some bullshit happening, not that the story or plot is interesting in any way.

ugh it’s not boring at least but everything is ridiculous in a bad way

mind you i don’t object to the ideals behind the text. it’s the clunky story that i find irritating.

it’s like someone wants to write essays about feminism but they shoehorned it into fiction and wrote an ineffective story around it.

every minute is a struggle

sigh

siiiigh

this is a mess

baaaaaaaah

(this is not a complaint because so far this has been good) i wish there were writers who could do fantasy not-europe/other parts of the world well.

really not getting a good visual sense of the setting, kind of don’t know how to situate my mind here

content is super funny as always but damn this narrator is really making it hard. was this just the style when they were recording on cassettes??? (i think that’s where the audio was first recorded on.)
