I love the world, characters and story that Neven Iliev has created. I enjoy each book in this series more with each book. The performance by Jeff Hays is always awesome and he can act very well and he can do infinite distinct voices and even females seamlessly. And the subtle use of very selective sound effects creates the perfect ambience without taking away from the story or narration and adding to it to make it even better. I think the performers and producers found the perfect balance in the production of this audiobook.
