I like the little laugh you did in the beginning. It helped bring some character to the read. There were a couple of phrases missing here You said “fervered” instead of “fevered”, added “stilled” in “but wars continued” and forgot “further” at the very end, so make sure you watch for those things. In closing make sure you give your audio a relisten just to make sure you're not missing anything also adding more projection would really help with this read. Good Job!
