Ok, it has music and sounds effect in very chapters. I dearly hate it!
It's not constant at least, so there's that, but it's so distracting, takes me out every time it comes up and makes hearing clearly the narrator (who's already not the most articulate out there) a lot harder. From the reviews, people seem to like it though... to each their own, I'd DNF if not for the fact I have nothing else to listen to rn.

Are background ambience sounds the sprayed edges of audiobooks? Ugh, I really could do without all the garnishing, just give me the story and let it create its own ambience and visuals. I had to keep rewinding because I listen on my commute and I just couldn't distinctively hear the narrator well with that adding river sound in the back. I'm sure it's fine if you listen at home, I'm just being a grump ^^
