    Not sure why I initially thought the accent was supposed to be Canadian. It’s supposed to be NY, I think? Either way, I don’t think the accent being used actually exists in the real world. Probably moving back to the ebook.

    After starting and loving the show I could no longer resist the lure of the audiobooks on hoopla despite the horrendous covers and whaaaaaat have I done because Kip’s voice???? May be the worst accent of all time. If you can even call it that? I can’t even tell what it’s going for, I just hate it so much. Will be taking this in small chunks if I finish at all. I’m scared.

    Okay okay. This is actually a pretty cute story. Been listening to the Audible book... The voices the guy makes for some characters feels a tad off, but overall still enjoying it quite a bit. Crazy to think this isn't even 1/4 of the way through. Chapter 5 had a nice ending for sure! Now I wonder what comes next! 😆

    The vibes were so strong on this one but ultimately the pacing throughout the middle of this very long book did me in. RIP.

    I am loving this book, the Russian themes and aspects are fantastic. I am listening to the audiobook and the narrator has a slight accent that is perfect. I will say that the switches between character viewpoints are a little abrupt and I sometimes struggle to tell who exactly is the next view point. Especially when they added the third one in.

    Edited for spelling.
