Why doesn't anyone check how iconic names and words are pronounced before they record these things?

Jim does good voice work, but his pacing is off - not EVERY single sentence needs dramatic emphasis.

Also, is that how he hears Harry's voice in his head? Like a Chicagoland John Wayne?

His character voices are all well done, but having heard 17+ books' worth of them done differently made these grate a little. They're all good voices for OTHER characters, if that makes sense.

Jim Butcher is a fantastic author. Here's hoping he continues to improve as a narrator.

Great story, narrator overmatched.

James is a little overmatched at times in this one. He's normally very good, and I enjoy him as the voice of the Dresden Files. But in this one, he seemed to have too many character voices to keep straight, and he muddled a few. A number of key characters sounded different from past performances/books as well. Mab sounded like a raspy old lady (or Tessa/Imariel), for example, and Vadderung sounded like Mouse at one point.

Butcher writes a hell of a story though. There were a number of times that I was just in awe of how he moved the plot, and drew the listener into the desired emotional connection. Loved it.
