Redo The Narration for The Next Books!!!!

I need you guys to finnish redoing the narration on books 3-6 because there is no way I am going to buy them as is, the narrator sounds 12 and I hate background music... I want to continue the story but can't now, unless I decide to read them instead, so PLEASE PLEASE push through the rereading and give us the rest of the books!

My favorite narrator

I really liked the first 3 books. Khristine Hvam does a great job narrating. The storyline is good too. Unfortunately books 4, 5 and 6 weren't as good. I didnt like the narrator's or their heavy overdone accents. I really wish Khristine Hvam would redo the rest of the series. I hope I can return the other books since i just cant force myself to finish any of them. I was hoping to get through the entire series, I went ahead and purchased all of the books but I definitely regret my decision. I'll just have to read the books myself. Khristine Hvam did a great job.

love these books!

the character in the main story is wonderful! choicing that drove me nuts is the chick who read the book cuz she made Rose sound very whiny and I didn't like that because she's supposed to be badass.

omg

I loved this book. I cried at the end and can't wait to listen to the next one!

Love the story, not the narrator.

I love this whole series. I’ve actually read the books, and wanted to listen to them once I became an Audible member. As we all do when we’ve read a book, I put voices and nuances to each character, and unfortunately this narrator did not meet my expectations. All of the characters sound the same. Of course I understand how hard it is, especially for women, to change your voice to portray a character, but to me this should be a prerequisite for this job. The least that could have been done was give Dimitri his Russian accent and not make Rose sound so whiny.

love it

this is the 3rd time reading or listening to this book. love this series. still wish it was made into a movie or series

cant wait to hear the next book!!!

the narrator was great! she hit the characters head on. I would recommend this for anyone.

good

very good book as always. plot twist was good, starting next book right away! very good writing glad I found it

my heart 😭

i love this series so much! i’m so surprised i didn’t cry but my heart sure aches after this book- going to listen to the next one asap!

Love this series

This series was slow to start for me but what I’ve noticed with each book is they slowly start drawing you in until you can’t stop listening. My only complaint is the accents of characters keep changing. The Russian accents in this book was kind of off, but I appreciated them being there compared to a previous book where they were omitted. Adrians British accent happening out of nowhere was awful. I’m obsessed with these books and the voice actor did a great job, but Adrians accent change was jarring. I preferred him not British. But overall I love this series.

Story great as always, narrating getting better

This narrator is growing on me. Still would have preferred if she gave more personality to each voice/character but it's perfectly alright to listen to!

I've read, I've listened and it just gets better

it took me a little while to get used to the voicecactor but once I did it was great listening to one of my favourite books from my teens on my hour drives too and from work

love the books.

listen while I work. Good book. makes time fly by. would recommend to everyone

Loved it, the story is getting better

The storyline is getting more and more interesting, I can't wait for the next book

Enjoyed

Enjoyed listening to this book looking forward to hearing the next book in the series
