Let me say right off that the narration was good even if I could not hear from the intonation which character was speaking There are never ending monologues I have warned you What is a bit strange is that there are extremely few conversations between characters Instead one character talks and talks and talks with another character listening I did get exasperated a few times after listening to one person jabber; they absolutely NEVER got to the point I think I listened to one solilouy for almost an hour and just had to give up I was so exasperated I will say this these long drawn out monologues made the character’s personality sparkling clear You learn about people through what they say than wha

I want to be invested in characters when I have to listen to a really long monologue Particularly when that monologue really doesn't say much about the character Someone can attack me on this if they want to but Marai typically keeps me very pr
