I like the story but...

Revisado: 03-19-25

While I understand that many are drawn to this audiobook for its RPG elements, I found the excessive focus on battle descriptions—many of which did little to advance the plot—to be tedious. The overarching story was far more engaging and could have benefited from a stronger narrative focus.

The narrator’s standard voice was excellent, and her portrayals of male characters were generally fine. However, some of her female character voices were grating, bordering on unbearable. In the third book, two of these characters frequently shared conversations, and their astonishing high-pitched, whiny tones were so harsh that I physically winced while listening. The pitch was unnaturally high—far beyond any normal voice I’ve encountered in real life—and when listening at a comfortable volume for narration, these voices became painfully loud. While the engineering levels may not have changed, the way electronics and the human ear process high frequencies made these characters particularly difficult to endure, forcing me to lower the volume every time they spoke.

Having listened to over 800 audiobooks, I’ve never struggled with discomfort caused by a narrator’s voice as much as I did here. And they were so unnatural, it distracted from immersion in the story.
