King of Duels

The Wandering Inn, Book 16

By: pirateaba

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

King of Duels marks the passing of the torch from our beloved Andrea Parsneau to a new narrator. Erin Bennett, a Golden Voice narrator, will continue to bring the magic of The Wandering Inn to life.

The world is full of adventures, big and small.

From exploring the [Garden of Sanctuary] to the depths of the sea, there are countless fascinating discoveries to be made. Not just in the places people go, but in the things they create... or recreate from Earth. Chocolate, lifting weights, and alcohol all flow through The Wandering Inn with unexpected consequences at times.

However, there's also war, [Assassins], and scams that ruin or destroy lives. For every monster, there is an adventurer. The Stitch Witch may creep forward, and the King of Destruction continues his rampage across nations, but there will always be a champion who steps forward.

Featuring a foreword from Andrea Parsneau.

Bring back Andrea Parsneau!!

I’m sure Erin Bennett is a fine narrator. That said Andrea brought so much more skill which really made the story come to life.

I’ve heard virtual voices on par with Erin if not better. Sounds harsh I know but it’s honest nonetheless.

Literally changed my opinion on every aspect of the story, that’s how much having the best narration means.

Struggling through, Update got better.

I love the story sofar, the new narrator is tough. she is not bad but there is a lot of overlap with the voice and I have to go back and listen a second time. She seam to just be reading the story. I wished her the best but this is going to be rough but I'll get through.


Narration smoothed out after the first few chapters. I prefer her voice for Erin. Magnolia was a bit too much though. By the end of the book I was happy with the change overall.

New Narrator makes for a hard listen

Yikes the first half of the story was a hard listen. I was hoping she's at least nail the main character Erin but that was a complete miss. it really took me out of the story. It was the worst during Bird's story, which sucks because he's one of my favorite characters. I'm not sure if that section of the story was weak or if it was the narration. I've never been a big fan of the King's stories, but that actually helped the narrator in that section because I never paid too much attention. She didn't nail the King either, but the story still shown through. I love audiobooks so I'm disappointed, I heard Andrea P was burnt out but I hope she comes back. I wish they had her continue doing most of the characters and just have a second narrator help out with the voices she can actually do and new characters.

Don’t like the complete swap of the voice actors

None of the characters sound anything like they did for the rest of this book series. Their performances don’t hit like they did before. Flos doesn’t sound like a king, he sounds like a rasping chain-smoker. Erin just isn’t the same, and Bird barely has any resemblance to what he was before. I am genuinely disappointed that every voice was changed and that it seems to really fall flat In That department.

WOW

How is that you wrote 15 great books and then come out with a book of short stories and leave out a lot of the main characters. I did skip over the sex chapter. if I wanted to read that I would listen to Jhon Norman.. I like the series enough to give it another shot. I hope the next on is a actual book and not a bunch of short stories
