Rather than presenting My Queen as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 267 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The sections are gathered into 14 chapters.
Can I hear My Queen read aloud?
Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of My Queen can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.
Every sentence of My Queen can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
