Good pulp, uneven narration

Revisado: 11-17-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend it to someone who reads fantasy, and likes a pulp-style story. A reader who has any interest in the setting, a fantasy 1920s/30s spun partially from our world and partially from fantasy tropes, will like it even more.

What other book might you compare Voyage of the Mourning Dawn to and why?

There has to be steampunk out there that has parallels for this, but I don't know the genre well enough to cite an example.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Marcella Rose Sciotto?

I'm not sure. She shows a fair range of vocal characterization, but as someone else said she mispronounces a noticeable number of words-- some ordinary English, some that are place or character names, important to help a listener make sense of what's going on. I don't care how clumsy the splices are; I'd have liked more of them, to get rid of those errors.(The text itself isn't perfect either. If she read it right, there's one spot where the phrase 'on the desk' occurs in three sentences in a row. But there are only one or two examples of that kind of error so far.)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'm not done yet. :)

Any additional comments?

I am enjoying listening to the story, so the author and the narrator both get credit for that, and I do want you to buy it so the creators might make more :D But too frequently I am enjoying it despite the narrator's mistakes, and this review is the only way I have to ask, "Seriously, was there no time left in the recording budget for error correction?"
