Narrator: Charlie McWade My Reading Speed: 1.25x Have I Read The Book Before Listening to the Audio? No *but I have read the first 3 books Overall Audio Impression: I really enjoyed this reader! He had great voices, especially with such a large cast of characters to voice. It was rare that I was confused as to who was speaking during this audiobook. I really enjoyed this book with its unexpected events and hidden plans of each of the characters. Not even our main character, Jaren, was even remotely transparent in his actions or choices. It made the story thrilling and very entertaining. Favorite scenes: Anything that had Jaren’s snark (so basically the entire book) Content Warnings: fantasy violence

both the book in the narration were amazing! the writer's ability to captivate you with her story is spot on! I absolutely loved the narrator his ability to do the voices of so many of the characters and have them exact each time throughout five books is incredible! I highly recommend both this author and narrator!
