Great story but…no editor?

I love this series. I love the characters. It may be a bit predictable, but it was still great. The only problem was that the author repeats himself a lot—not just once or twice and not just “later on” in the book, sometimes only a few paragraphs later. It’s like no one read the book all the way through. Made it feel like a rough draft or like he was using AI to write/edit it. Just take out the redundancies, and I’d give it 5 stars.

The Pros: I kept listening, even when I rolled my eyes at some parts, but I listened to it all the way through, so...obviously I liked it.

The Cons: It's pretty much an exact remake of the movie "Everafter" set in the 1940's, but with zombies and lots of teenage angst (and some sexual angst). I'm not sure if it was the narrator or the content, but some of the romance and "longing" described felt a little over the top.

An adorable alternate version. I don’t generally like books based off other books, but this author did such a good job that I could easily imagine it was Jane Austen who had written it.

It's a cute story. I liked it. Mostly. The main character was petty and kind of a jerk for most of the book. It was hard to like her and sympathize with her. Still, I obviously kept listening, so it was at least a good enough story that I wanted to know what happens next. The narrator was great, but like almost all of the books I listen to on Audible, I had to speed it up to about 1.25/1.5 reading speed or else it was just too slow.
