Cartoon stereotype voices detract
Revisado: 09-16-23
The story is a great continuation from the first three books of the series.
But buy it and read it yourself.
I often try to support authors by purchasing hard copies, ebooks and audio versions - and love the flexibility that gives me.
The voice "acting" in this series has always been meh. The caricatures are vocally stereotyped and walk the line between annoying and laughable, but the mispronunciations that have always been there are increased exponentially in this fourth book.
Always mispronouncing "coup d'état" in a four book storyline that basically originates and centers around one is comical at best, but something I've tolerated. However, some examples of simple words like "decadent" and "origin" being horrendously mutilated and pop culture references around since the 80's like "Mandalorian" also being audibly destroyed make this particular listen far less enjoyable. Mispronunciations abound. It's become a distraction much akin to counting the "ums and ahs" of that teacher or presenter we have all had.
Support the author and enjoy this continuation of the story in the tradition of "old" America and buy the book.

The story continues, but...
Revisado: 04-28-23
The story continues with twists and turns in a not-so-distant future. Still a terrific read and series, but I much preferred the book to the audio this time.
The first book I forgave the caricature voice acting. The second book, it started to be abrasive. By this third one, the stereotyping of voices was downright annoying.
Similarly, the voice actor consistently mispronounces words. For example, every instance of "coup d'état" in the series is mispronounced, but in book 3 I actually was so distracted I started keeping a list... epaulets, autonomous, rectum... the list continues like a bad case of food poisoning...
