The mispronunciation of Kahlan, Rikka and Aydindril make this book completely unlistenable. Is that really Sam Tsoutsouvas really the reader?
I do 100% agree with you. At the introduction it says the reader is “Gerry tugtan”.
The version from Sam Tsoutsouvas (available on audible) is way better, but sadly still inferior to Nick Sullivan who did the previous books.
I might skip this book. It’s been almost a year since I tried to get through this. Your assessment is spot on. If I knew this in advance I would never had started the series. I was wondering who Colin was and thought I had skipped a book.
