Impressed with character development, story, moral character and relationships of the major players: Mycroft, Douglas and Sherlock as well as significant supporting characters. Abdul Jabbar is kind of a Renaissance figure : athlete, author, researcher, architect and humanitarian. Plus, he was great in Airplane.

Wasn’t as much narrated as poorly read. Ruined the experience. So bad, it is difficult to believe.

Almost every woman appears as whiney, shallow and one dimensional. Most of the “nobles” as well. Character development is weak. Narration is amateurish but appropriate for such poor writing even allowing for decent story premise.

The narrator of Magnus Chase is without narrative talent. He reads the book as though he is in grade school, with no inflection in his voice, little interest in his subject and with no emotion. This is the worst audiobook narration that I’ve ever listened to.

Worst reading ever. Understanding of foreign words and accents non existent. Jarringly atrocious. Pronunciations so off as to be satirical if intended, but instead simply ruined a perfectly good story. If I hadn't paid for the privilege, I would have deleted and read it rather than listen to it on Audible. Execrable performance.
