I have enjoyed the entire series and look forward to book 9 coming out soon. I will tolerrate the narrator because I want to know what happens next. However, the narrator makes it difficult to enjoy the story. He delivers every other line as if he is MCing a big fight. Every sentance that Damien or the Mage King speak are emphasized in a way that make them sound like egotistical self- important idiots. Thnk of the line, “Frankly my dear, I dont give a damn.” and imagine every line from a particular charactor spoken with that much passion. Sorry this review is more about the reader than the book. But, when I recomwnd the audio to friends, I have to warn them that if they cant tollerate bad narration then they ahould read it instead of listening.
