Good story, continuing painful narration.

The story continues to be pretty good. Unfortunately, as in the last few books, the narrator pauses inappropriately all over the place like Captain Kirk. It's. Really starting to. Get. On my nerves.

Performance is just awful

Seriously, just when I think he can’t get any worse, he proves me wrong. William shatter has a better reading cadence. Hell, I’ve heard voice to text AI books on YouTube where there’s zero editing to fix anything that sounds more natural. I’m not one to criticize unless I think I can do a better job, and honestly, I really think I could. There’s also the bizarre sound effects he makes that are incongruous to the described text.


To the narrator. Watch the anime adaptation and take a cue from there. Your interpretation sucks and you should take inspiration from another source.
