Probably enchanting

The further into the book, the more complex the language became and the more difficult either to hear the words or understand the narrator.By the end of the book, whole passages were indecipherable.l only stuck with it because there was a lyricism and a magical quality to the narrators tone and pace which was helpful when l was trying to sleep.
lam sure this is a captivating collection of tales, but it was all a bit wasted on me.................
