You are a really engaging reader, Christopher! Just two comments:
--Title is “Powder” not “Power”
--Your name as read name should only be at the start or finish, not both.
Betsy
Thanks Betsy! I’m looking forward to finding my next project!

Well read, John. Just one note. At the beginning you didn't read "Part I". Otherwise? Perfect! - Betsy

Hi John - you're really moving along! I have a number of fixes for you to manage on this one, as follows:
--After Chapter title: “Part I” not read
--at 5:11
Sort of a “blip” in the delivery, as if an edit was made and not smoothly finished.
--at 12:32
Dropped “…de sa splendeur..” from the end of French paragraph
--at 16:19
“Months” seems cut off, as if an edit were done and it got caught in a cut.
--at 17:06
Dropped “which might so easily have been done by cancelling a couple of dull columns and substituting a circumstantial narrative ... “
--at 30:12
Dropped “men” from “calling great men…”

Good reading Alexa! I have just two comments of items that change the meaning in the text:
At 2:43
Written “excerpts”
Spoken “experts”

At 5:05
Written: “swam off to the Bolivar”
Spoken: “swam off the Bolivard”

Also, you left 8 seconds of silence at end. Better having too many then too few, but LV parameters request just 5 seconds.
