What made the experience of listening to The Last Warrior of Unigaea the most enjoyable?
Jeff Hays narration and intensity with his reading was great. The moment that Annie Ellicott stepped in was a bit jarring, BUT that’s only because it happened so late in the narration. I would strongly love to hear MORE from her and this ensemble style in the future.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Wolf was quite probably my favorite character. Being a nonverbal character, I got to hear the descriptions of his actions more clearly in my mind. He brings a slight comedic tone to certain points in the book.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Alternating voice for the characters. While I would have supplemented with my own voice, I think the narrators are able to more precisely hit those tones due to direction from the author.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is a point toward the middle of the book when Orick’s viewpoint of his quest strengthens and his justification for vengeance changes that was particularly gripping. I think Jeff did a great job of capturing that with his voice.
Any additional comments?
This was a great listen. I normally don’t care for present tense, but this may have won me over.
