This audiobook reader sometimes pronounces things so strangely. Some phrases sound… Australian? “Nodded” was said as “noded”. In my Libby app, I had tagged this as ebook preferred which usually means I don’t like the audio reader or sample… but I ignored it. Oh well. We’re in it now.

I don't know if it's because I recently listened to an audiobook read by an Australian, but I am still catching Aussie pronunciations from the reader for Molka here and there. Plus just other odd things. "Testerone" in the audio instead of "testosterone". (I thought I just misheard that one, so I went back and checked again. Yep. TESTERONE. ???)

I had to look up who reads it - Rosa Escoda. She's Spanish/Korean/British. I've listened to two Korean books read by her, and she was fine. She has an almost childlike style, which I cannot imagine would work well for Molka.

She doesn’t sound especially childlike or young in this, at least not more than any other young woman audiobook readers read. I have gotten more used to her, so it’s not quite so irksome now. But also having the British context helps.
