Rather than presenting The Created Legend as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 1167 sections of 5 sentences each.

The 33 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.

Can I hear The Created Legend read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of The Created Legend can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of The Created Legend 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.
