Eternium rose
No accents at all would have been better that the ones chosen and not a single female character sounded even a little bit female. Madam Chandra and Rose get these bizarre French-ish accents that sound more like the narrator is speaking around a mouthful of rocks than an actual accent.Īnd since when do you think of a Deep South southern gentleman drawl when you think of an Infernal, slick and oily salesman as the Infernal Dungeon is described? Dani doesn’t even sound like a woman and seems like she’s out of breath every time she speaks. Minya is supposed to be hot, and now that Dale isn’t scared of her any more, we can’t even enjoy them getting together because Minya sounds old and gross.Ĭal is supposed to be a delightful psychopath, but instead he sounds like a Boston tween. Minya seems like an old Russian woman who’s been smoking for 75 years. Barry ends up seeming crazier than Xenocide. Daniels made no attempt to try to have similar voices as Adams has previously established over the course of 5 or 6 other books, including characters that show up in the Completionist books as well. I liked other narrations that Luke Daniels has done, but his narration for this book honestly made it hard for me to enjoy this book.Įven though Krout maintained his characters’ personalities, Daniels interpretation of those characters is incredibly heavy handed and makes the character seem totally different.
I will say that I love Vikas Adams too, but I don’t think I’m being unfairly biased. My Audible rating was 1 star for narration and 4 stars for the story which sadly drug the rating down to a 3 overall.įirst things first-I love Dakota Krout’s books. Unfortunately this rating reflects more on the narrator than the book-the narrator kinda ruined it for me.
