Great Story but Narration change

Story line was great! Well written. The only thing that impacted this negatively was the change in narrator and the voices for some of the key characters, especially Mara. Thankfully the story itself kept me engaged because the first few chapters were hard to get through with the new narrator.

Disappointing Narration

It was disappointing to have a different narrator for the final book in a trilogy and the narration was subpar. I had to listen to it at 1.25 for it to even be bearable. The worst part though was the mispronunciation of critically important words like their names, the name of their ship, the name of their entire planet. How you could not take the time to learn the way it was pronounced for the other two books is beyond me. Then there was the random accents that were never there before nor any clue how they’d come to get them or why after thousands of years they would even still have them. If it wasn’t for how well the first two stories were written, I don’t know if I could have pushed through that first couple hours. Eventually I got used to it but not before it left a sour taste in my mouth. Unfortunate.
