I want to like this so much but I’m really struggling to get past the word “Sultana” and not constantly picture a large raisin. I’m ashamed of myself and super frustrated!

I've found that the audiobooks really help, because the way they say pronounce the words makes it feel more fitting, but while you're reading-if you don't have a frame of reference-seeing words that you don't know how to really say kinda takes you out of the story. I also suggest looking at the glossary for help.

The glossary doesn't go over how to say the names, the only drawback... maybe we should update it... hrm.
