Clarity of enunciation, but repeated lines. When the narrator corrects a line, many times the previous line with error is not edited out of the audio, which makes for an odd, deja vu listening experience. Next, there are no breaks. Chapters flow continuously. Would be better to announce "chapter 25" than to omit. Would be even better had the author taken time to title the chapters or sections. Perhaps she has done so, but the Audible format omits them. Poor.
