Such a bad reader

This reader was terrible. I do not understand when readers don’t consult with authors about the pronunciation of characters names. She messed up so many names but by far the worst was Takata. I cringed every time she said his name.

The story itself was good. Not as good as when I read it when it first came out. There’s a vein of patriarchy in these books that really rubs me the wrong way these days.

Great story bad narration

Overall I truly enjoyed the story. Great continuation of The Hollows series. Very difficult time listening to the narrator miss pronounce all of the names. However I do not blame the narrator I blame the editors for not catching this before the book was released on Audible‘s.

different narrator

Excellent story. i love the Hollows series. However after 5 books with the same narrator (Marguerite Gavin), switching to another narrator for a single book through me out of the groove. I couldn't get into this book as much as the other, thinking about the narrator kept pulling me out. Like switching actors in a tv series mid season for a few episodes.

Worst Narration

Narration was terrible! Mispronounced basic words and names. Story was pretty good. Won't listen again.

they need to re record this!

the story itself is wonderful. Kim Harrison is a wonderful writer. but holy damn!! if someone else is going to narrate they should pronounce words the same as other narrators! gawd that was irritating! the random bits of music were annoying as hell!! I would 100% listen to this again if Margarite Gavin recorded again with proper pronunciations and none of that extra music crap!!!

Narrator and Pronounciation

I love the Hollows series, and the story is always good, but this Narrator does an awful Jon pronouncing words (Ley=Lee). After listening to 5 books by Marguerite, it doesn't make sense that they changed the narrator for this one book. how she tones people is off putting too. nothing against the Narrator personally. She was set up by having someone else narrate everything else first. They probably should have asked her to listen to the original narators versions first.

Same as all the other reviews.

The story was great, but the narrator sucked toe-nails.
I can appreciate that narrators change sometimes, however it was as if this new narrator had no idea how to pronounce the book specific vocabulary. Every time she said "lee-lines" instead of "lay-lines" I winced. A great deal of her mistakes could have been prevented by listening to an hour or so of one of the previous books.

Amazing Story but terrible performance

I loved this book just as much as the others in this series. Rachel Morgans character is as kick ass as always. But soo disappointed in the story teller, she said so many of the names & magic words incorrectly .. it made me cringe. I'm suprised this wasn't caught before it was released. Look forward to the next book but hoping the next audio is different.
