The readings, on the whole, are fine. But several chapters don't load.

I made it to book II chapter 7 and then it was all over. The reader not only spoke in a barely legible accent but she TORE through the chapters until she was practically panting for breathe I tried to adjust the pace adjustment but she was galloping so fast that it didn't make a difference. This is supposed to be a good book. If there is no redo the book is lost

First, I have become a great fan of Henry Fielding. His writing is both lyrical and earthy. I believe that Emilia is considered among his finest works and little wonder. The readers are over all very good with some being excellent. There is a reader or two that seem to struggle but if the listener is patient it all works out in the end.

I had the same problem. This one reader has a strong accent so mispronounces words. She speaks too fast with no expression and runs her words together. Impossible to understand. Ruins the book

I can’t listen to a common American accent when listening to British novels. Eager American girls stand down, produce the podcasts and hire narrators from RSC.
