Solid audio book.

Steven Pacey is a wonderful performer. Joe Ambercrombie is a great writer. I think some folks dont like this book bc they see themselves in Stower Knight Fall and Brock. folks reviewing are saying the book is full of weak men and strong women. firstly, would that be terrible if it were true? Are you that fragile? Do you hate strong women that much?

Secondly it false. this book is full of people strong at times weak at others, which is true to life. You want strong men? Look at Clover, look at Orso(who has a wonderful arc btw. Look at shivers. look at glokta the elder, pike and broad the bull(hes a bit of 9 fingers clone though). look at gorst and tunny.(apologize for the name spelling I listened to and didn't read it. obviously.

stack those numbers against the intelligent, powerful, women and the score is incredibly lopsided towards the strong men.

Ambercrombie includes arguably three to four strong women "if" you include sabine. which you might not want to considering the following spoilers. sabine glokta gia a prego, incestuous, coke head, bitch who's henpecked her closeted moron of husband nearly to his death. And loses everything trying not to feel weak again bc she's psycho narcissist. And somehow the book is full of weak men and woke women. only two of which are main characters. ricker who is a strong female. and sabine who isnt.

started weak then got great

this is a very silly book. but it's very good. gets better as it goes. some of the characters are bit too stubborn. like nonsensically stubborn. but I get the author is pretty bluntly making a point about prejudice and the hypocrisy of organized religion.

it felt a little like john waters narrating a fantasy novel. but since it so silly it works. please enjoy.

Dont do voices...

Revisado: 10-24-15

What made the experience of listening to Shaman, Sister, Sorceress the most enjoyable?

If you can't do voices without being offensive don't do it. SK sounds like he is well qualified to represent the lolly pop guild. Leon sounds mentally handicapped. Coco sounds like a stereotype as well. I found the performance offensive. I half read this book after reading the first two and listening to this was almost painful.

What did you like best about this story?

great story. very inventive and makes the unbelievable believable.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Celia Aurora de Blas?

Someone who wouldn't try to do voices if they couldn't do them well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You saw him in knights of badassdom, game of thrones, and now in Techno shaman.

Any additional comments?

Really cool series. pretty bad narration, but not so bad I quit listening.
