I can only hope that audible re-records the last several books. So distracting in fact, I had to download the rest of the series on my Kindle to truly enjoy the experience of the story. It was not enjoyable, listening was awful. What made the experience of listening to King of Sword and Sky the most enjoyable? I can fully recommend the Tairen Soul series though.
I'm not sure I can keep going with this narrator, as she is so irritating to listen to that I'm distracted from the story. It is a shame, because I love this series and had really looked forward to listening to the entire series on audiobook. On the up side, there are few, if any, mistakes in pronunciation. What should be strong male voices are still sing-songy and lispy. Most audiobook readers, male or female, are able to use their voices to convey different characters/genders, but that is poorly done in this case. As the book progressed, the reading improved somewhat, but young girl voice with the lisp is consistent throughout. By what logic would anyone chose a narrator with a lisp to read an audiobook? Early in the reading, Ms Durante sounded like someone reading to children at storytime.
I thought that a new narrator (and a consistent one) for the last three books had to be an improvement over the first two narrators (numerous mispronunciations, poor timing, with no break between chapters or scene changes, etc.). This is the third book in the Tairen Soul series and the third different narrator.
Wonderful tale with poor choice for narrator
