Narrator and pronunciations killed it for me.

Revisado: 02-25-21

I have listened to all the books in this series and many others by these authors. I usually buy the kindle or paperback first, then listen again in my car on the way to/from work. This Narrator/Producer and their pronunciations killed it for me. Did you know Ascanio is Buddha not a Bouda now? Neither did I, nor will I listen to him being called that. This is a branch series from the original which had words and names pronounced a certain way through out the series. We heard the main character brought up in that series say the words and names a certain way. It is jarring and just rude to long time listeners when the predecessors work is disregarded so blatantly. If you are going to produce/narrate a book with so many other books in that world before it, you respect it. At LEAST listen to it, for fox sake. The characters have been built and are mature, the world is established and the listeners are (were) loyal. I have returned this book after listening for 8 minutes. I may buy it again, IF someone fixes the glaring problems.

Stunningly Disappointing

Revisado: 08-15-19

This was so bad, I’m having trouble picking a point to start. I’ll just say this annoyingly narrated, unabashedly dumbing down of a strong female character, unashamed abuse of fan loyalty for profit, political spewing piece of...book...is being returned.

Couldn’t take the narrator’s voice for one more second!

Revisado: 08-03-19

The extreme enunciation was distracting and incredibly annoying. Had to stop the book and return it! Ugh!!

Terrible

Revisado: 10-30-17

This was an unbelievably boring, repetitive and annoying book. I purchased it because a review blurb was from an author I like. Big mistake! Dealing with the narrator's pronunciation of didn’t as did-nit was mind numbing. The male lead turned into a whining baby and the female lead constantly asked silly questions every time there was a struggle. Then the story inconsistencies just compounded my misery. Advice…spend the credit on something that has actually been through a competent editor.

Really?

Couldn't even make it to Chapter 4. Don't waste a credit. Enough said.

Hope it isn't the last one

Revisado: 11-05-14

I rarely listen to anything other than Sci-Fi, but found myself drawn to this author. While others feel the narrator wasn't up to snuff, I liked the world weary aspect of Welliver's reading. I hope this isn't the last we hear from Bosch.

Done with this series

Revisado: 10-16-14

Just can't listen any more. Another one jumps on the Vanilla S&M Dominance Band Wagon.

Also, the Droning Carpathian Language and Translations! On and On! Had to return only 1/3 of the way through the narration.

Preachy and annoyingly "It's, that's stupid"

Revisado: 08-15-14

I was hoping this was another series in which to lose myself. It starts out fairly well, but I wanted to throw it out half way through the book. The explanations for the main character's actions and her dialogue are preachy and extremely judgemental. The words "It's/that's stupid..." are used constantly. I almost downloaded the e-version, just to count how many times "stupid" occurred.

I found the main character unequivocably unlikable, and this was disappointing. I liked the idea of a former police officer turning into a bounty hunter, and maybe my expectations were too high. As the story progressed, I found myself less and less sympathetic to this character.

I would have given it one star, but I still feel this series could be salvaged. It has a decent premise, but it reached the point where I felt "stupid" listening/reading it.
