Old school fantasy but with terrible narrator
I read this many years ago, thought it would be good and nostalgic to revisit on audible. The story itself is still good, classic fantasy but the writing is abit dated now. Still enjoyable if it wasn't for the narrator, I don't know who thought he was a good choice as he is terrible. Might be me being English but I struggle with American narrators. The voices he puts on are all similar variations and some are just downright annoying, which is even more annoying when it's a main character. They should have got someone like Sean Barret, Simon Ambrose or Steven Pacey to do it.

Dreadful narration
We'll gloss over the monotone delivery and minimal characterisation and get straight to the thing I can't get over.
The narrator pronounces the word "worship" as if it was a naval destroyer, he says "warship". It's infuriating and the crowning glory of a dreadful performance.

Good book, horrendous narrator
as the title says, almost unlistenable bacause of the narrator.
He has the most monotone voice that makes it almost impossible to differentiate between characters and if it is supposed to be an intense scene or just a normal conversation,

Pure BOMBASTIC fantasy
Could not get over the narration and the level of fantasy thrown at you from the beginning.
The narration is awful, way to bombastic.
You can take a listen in the sample and see if you can stand it.

Awful narration
One of my favourite series ruined by truly awful story telling. Lasted 2 chapters before I quit it.

This should be a fantasy classic!
absolutely an awesome story, knights, magic and a really nice twists. keeps me coming back to it. This version is really nicely read, I am about miffed about the random music bits at the beginning of some chapters.
