Narrator pronounces some words incorrectly which was a bit offputting at first… still the story is good.

Slow start with a good ending

The story is good, but I can't get past the mispronunciations of the narrator. Simple English words that are mispronounced, when NARRATING is your only job, takes away from the experience for the listener. There are so many people involved in the process of creating an audiobook- the author, the narrator, the producers, the editors.....why isn't it caught???

Good storyline

Part soap opera with cartoonish combat scenes. No character development so hard to get involved. Kept getting bored, even in action scenes.

No character development, cartoonish story.

Narrator pronunciation of “balaclava” grated on my ears. Detracted from story. Otherwise okay. Get a different reader.

Narrator lacks

Didn’t grab me like most other books in the same genre do. His other series is much better. Plus I can’t stand when narrators mispronounce words and there was quite a bit of that going on. Sadly disappointed.

Didn’t grab me!
