This is an established series. Why didn't reader research the pronunciation of core terms used in the first 12+ novels and several related anthologies? It is so grating and disrupts the flow for me. Nevertheless I enjoyed it and hope to hear more about the "kitten" and her family.

Some word prononciations were distracting

Ms William's prononciation of certain key words differed from the way John Lee pronounced them in all the books of the main Spellmonger series. The one I found most jarring was her modern day pronunciation of "villains", with its negative connotation, where Mr Lee used an archaic pronunciation (rhyming it with "again") which was in keeping with the historic meaning of farmhand or serf. The other differences I could pass over, but hearing a word with overtones of criminal or evil for honest peasants broke the flow for me.

First recorded in 1275–1325; Middle English vilein, vilain “churlish rustic, serf,” from Middle French, from Vulgar Latin and Medieval Latin villānus “a farm servant, farmhand"

I am loving the Kingkiller Chronicles. Patrick Rothfuss has captured me with his characters and story and Nick Podehl's voice carries me well throughout both of the first books. I can't wait to get the third volume when Patrick finishes weaving his magic with the story of Qvothe. You know something is well written and well performed when you can loose your place in a book and fully enjoy skipping back to an earlier point and listen to sections all over again.
