I've finished: Nine Goblins by T. Kingfisher

This is a light hearted novella about a bunch of misfits in the goblin army, and an eccentric elven veterinarian and the shenanigans that befall him with all kinds of natural and unnatural creatures. Until it suddenly turns into something else.

You are the first author that has ever done this and it’s made recording so much easier.

See? might be for disabled people, but it makes the world so much easier for everyone else if we design for disabled people first.
