The eastern front is a place where soldiers never sleep and artillery guns howl without rest. This quagmire is where the Salamander Kampfgruppe has been hurled once again, just another cog in the grand war machine of their fatherland. Still, there's only so much one unit can do. As the fighting ramps up with renewed enemy attacks and a brand-new weapon that pitches the Federation's quantity against the Empire's quality, Tanya faces one of her toughest battles yet, making a certain visitor's arrival a sight for sore eyes...

Narrator does a poor job voicing the various characters. In particular, shedoes appear to know that Serebryakov is Tanya adjutant giving the later a low male voice.

All in the title. This narrator change has hurt this volume horrendously. The narrator is plodding pace, combined with the authors regressions into circular pondering on a previously covered subjects and makes this one a difficult listen.

First narrator was great. Second was good. This one bad.

Narrator had hard time changing from one to others.
She had 1-2second of muddled voice when doing character transitioning in the 1st half so it hard to tell who is who.
this problem getting better though in the 2nd half.

I miss the different voices for the different characters of the previous books. Tanya doesn’t sound like herself despite the narrator being her voice actress.

Despite what most reviews say personally I thought the new reader did a good job. She does a way better tanya voice and honestly I could distinguish the characters. Afterall the only other female character is visha.

Echoing previous reviews, the change in the audiobook narrator is a steep drop in quality. The actual quality of the novel itself was great per usual.

The new narrator speaks incredibly slowly such that the only way I could sit through it was to increase the narration speed to 1.2x. At that speed, it becomes a regular speech rhythm, versus the normal speed which I assume was intended for a methodical, menacing tone which did not hit the mark.

The new narrator also does not bring the previous quality in terms of character portrayals. She only has a handful of voices which are recycled for different characters besides Tanya. the conversations between the generals were particularly poor in characterization where Zettour was portrayed with the same voice as the standard narration, making the internal monologues and the dialogue hard to differentiate. These conversations were previously a highlight of strategic insight, but now became confusing and hard to follow solely based on the reading.

This also may be a personal preference, but I appreciated the previous narrator using different accents for the various nations' officers. I understand why someone would not want to apply that as a general standard for all foreign characters, but without the accents the narrator gave established, prominent characters voices that were virtually indistinguishable from previous characters.

Overall, I was frustrated listening to this volume. The drop in narrator quality honestly turns me off to future volumes if the performance or direction does not improve. Obviously she has the challenge of coming into an established series, but there seems to have been little effort on the overall production's part to maintain established characterization and performance quality.

My lifestyle does not permit me to be able to read the text of something as involved as this series, so it would be a disappointment to give it up over this issue.

Quality suffers drastically from a new narrator.

In the first few minutes of the novel there is a battle happening that should be exciting and immediately engage you into the story. Unfortunately the narrators voice acting made it sound so blase I thought it was happening in the past tense as if it was a memory until I hear our MC had to actively dodge some incoming fire. This lackluster performance continued through the whole of the novel. This caused a normally engaging, exciting and intriguing political war novel to go from an awesome read to the last one I'll listen to in the series. The low effort or possibly lack of experience of the narrator really hurt it for me and made it a chore to listen too.

The last I'll purchase for this series.

as in the headlines, changing the narrator midway through the series is a bad move, the voice intonation changes every so often by several characters was an interesting mental exercise to figure out who the hell speaking

grate content, below avarege narration

I love this story but the narration made it impossible to finish. Not 10 minutes in and there are 5 glaring mispronunciations which I presume continue throughout the whole novel. The cadence is so lousy I had to increase the speed by 10% just to make it bearable. Will be writing the publisher and begging them to choose a different narrator for future installments.

Publisher deserves a tax credit for this narrator
