This was a disappointing book!
What would have made The Bird Sisters better?
The book's plot was very difficult to get involved in and the reader's voice was irritatingly slow. I even increased the speed but it did not help much.
What could Rebecca Rasmussen have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The plot did not get interesting until the end of the book. I kept thinking this has to get better and it finally did but it took most of the book to get there.
What didn’t you like about Xe Sands’s performance?
Her slow drawl just did not enhance the book at all. It sounded like she had just gotten out of bed and had not quite woken up yet.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
It had a decent ending, it just needed more to build up to it.
Any additional comments?
No

Terrible narration
What would have made The Bird Sisters better?
I was extremely distracted by the way the narrator let her voice fall at the end of sentences, almost as if she was disdainful of me, the listener. Or like she was about to lower herself to tell me some big secret with the next sentence. It's hard to explain, she just seemed disdainful.
Has The Bird Sisters turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, but other books by the narrator, yes.
How could the performance have been better?
See above.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The story was sad but authentic.
