"Some voices change for the worse"
Worst book in the series though by no means bad. Disappointed that the reader changed some of the voices of some characters. Petyr Baelish and Arya Stark especially sounded much better in previous volumes.
"Enjoyable"
I like these books, and am so thankful we can play these at faster speeds. The reader is so slow, I must play at 1.25-1.5. Otherwise the odd pausing is just so gratingly slow.
"Change in narration?"
So far in the series this has been my least favorite book, mostly because my favorite characters aren't as prominent, but that is mostly just a matter of personal preference. The real problem with this audiobook though, was Roy Doltrice's change in narration! He does the voices of several characters differently (Aria, Sam?!) and also, he pronounces people's names differently than he did in the recordings of previous books. It drives me nuts and frankly made listening to this book more annoying than entertaining. I still love Roy Doltrice's narration style, and voice but the inconsistency is just a mystery.
"Can't get past the narrator..."
Hate that 'BRY-EENE' :-( sounds like a Keebler elf! Bad female voices, have to delete.
"Kind of slow"
this book was kind of slow to get going. and Roy kept mispronouncing name which made it hard to follow along.
"My definition of a filler book"
Story barely progresses and some characters simply go in a circle. In hindsight this book could have been a Novela and been just fine.
"Narration is unbearable"
Every female character sounds like the same 80 y/o toothless fishwife. Danerys,Arya, Brienne (or Bryeeeene as the reader keeps painfully pronouncing it) - all the same. Seriously it's distracting. I often had Rostov listening because it just made me so mad.
"inconsistencies"
The narrator changed the voices of Aria and Petyr Baelish from the past three books. this was very annoying if you are listening to them in close sequence. Also changed the pronunciation of Petyr and Catelin.
"Character Voices"
Though it is Roy Detrice narrating again, the character voices, accents and name pronunciations are inconsistent with previous books.
"Good book, poor reading"
Notable change in audio quality. Narrator Roy Dotrice changed the way words were spoken from earlier books, for the worse.
