Reader Sounds Too Soft

As someone new to Conan Books I don’t know how much merit my opinion has.
However I do feel that the Reader’s soft voice (though clear and consistent)
Lacks the tone to really convey the feel of a Larger than Life Barbarian crushing the skull of a lesser man with an axe blade

That man NAILS the Lines where women are speaking though, that soft voice really shows.


Great Book Overall though, Lots of throwbacks or hints at other Conan Stories I have only gotten to see parts of, as well as Getting to explore different parts of this Pangea type world along with Conan
