I love the author and have read the original books and love it. The narrator experiences several issues that unfortunately spoils the brilliant narrative. The use of accents for different characters was an interesting choice but they sound far too forced, and are performed in many places at the expense of accurate or appropriate inflection. Even the general accent used outside of dialogue seems too contrived. There lacks an overall rhythm to the story telling, an ebb and a flow, every word seems equally punched. I would love to experience the story told with a more intentional and sensitive narration.
