Decent story for a first time author

For her first novel(novella), this was a good story. She wrote this based on a D&D campaign she ran, and it reads as such. There is no inner character dialogue. There is a little bit of world building, but there is no explanation of how the magic works. This is something that you just know if you play D&D (which I do).
The audiobook could have been done better. I think it was meant to come across as an old story teller, telling the story, but I did not like the narrator. His voice for the female characters was very annoying and bad. There are also several time where lines repeat for no reason. Not sure if that was something that was missed in the editing or if audible was the issue.
I am going to listen to the next book. I think it's good for what it is.

get the (e)book for book 1, new voice for book 2

I got a free code for the audible version to review.

The story in this first installment is a very solid start to a great adventure. The characters have traits that fit their roles and stations, but also make them unique and contribute to a believable personality and community.

The MC is a driven commoner who works as a server saving her tips and wages to finance her dream of becoming an apprentice wizard. She could have it all given to her being the daughter of a regional warrior hero, but instead this is a story of paying your dues, discipline, trust, and embracing adventure.

Why I recommend the book version? I am a dedicated audible/audiobook listener going thru many books a month, primarily in the fantasy sci-fi genre. This recording was unfortunately done by a voice actor and editor that leaves a lot to be desired.

there are frequent issues where the audio repeats sentences 2-3 times, this is just terrible audio editing, and the voice actor is not good with enunciation and goes too fast turning the speed down to 0.9 helps with the speed at least. being a shorter book I will push thru, but I will be sure to avoid this narrator going forward.
