New narrator

The storyline is still on track and completely brilliant but I just can’t get behind the new narrator, I’ve listened to the last 9 books countless times and have come to associate certain voices with certain characters to the point that I can play them back in my head without the book, this new narrator just doesn’t capture the characters’ personalities the same way Travis Baldree does, I waited more than a year for this new book and I didn’t even recognise the characters’ voices, it’s disappointing. Great series definitely read/listen to the other 9 books just have to get used to new narrator.

Kyuuu

Perfect narration, even though it was weird with a new narrator all of a sudden she does a great job. Travis, on point, as always... And that ending is spectacular, the story in general. Can't wait for the next one...

No complaints about the voiceovers, it's a lot better than expected. The story is good. I suggest getting this title.

I especially like the usage of different voices for characters as I believe if this became animated those would be their accurate voices.

Narration

I love this series and was very excited for Vol. 10 but the double narration was not a good move imo.
Elizabeth is a great narrator but after 9 volumes and re-listening to the series multiple times with the voices from Travis its quite jarring to hear the same characters with completely different voices after so long (especially Arthur) and it can be hard to tell which character is talking. I would listen to the volumes whilst working or driving but now it feels like I have to focus and really listen to tell who's talking. I'm only early into the volume so I'm sure Ill get used to it but I think it would have been better to have two narrators from the beginning rather than after 9 volumes

Very good

At first I was very disappointed with having two different voice actors, but I got used to it after around 10 chapters. Other than that, it was great! (plz release the next book already)

Another fantastic addition to the saga

Yet another gripping addition to the saga that I have gone over again and again every time a new book is released... The only thing for me that was jarring was Elizabeth Evans' addition to the narration. I have nothing against her, but after 9 books with Travis' wonderful narration, I, like many others have grown used to his voices for each of the characters and so Elizabeth's sudden addition this late into the story was incredibly jarring and even made it hard for me to focus on the story when she read. Again, nothing against her, but the addition here, this late, was an oversight in my opinion.

Otherwise, I literally cannot wait for the next book to come to Audible.

Masterpiece

The beginning after the end is truly a masterpiece.
Never has a book or any piece of fiction connected me with the characters and story so much like I’m there with them especially in these last 2 volumes

Enjoyed overall, however...

I've just finished listening to the book and overall enjoyed it and can't wait for book 11 to come out. It was great spending more time with Arthur and the characters and uncovering the mysteries of the Asuras and Jin and what is being setup for the next book. However, as many others have pointed out and feel it needs to be said yet again. Why on earth after 9 books, did it seem like a good idea to add another narrator? It would be one thing if Elizabeth took over only the female characters; as I quite liked her Caera and Seras performance). But narrating characters; especially the males like Arthur that already had established their distinct voices over NINE BOOKS from Travis's performance completely interrupted the immersion of the story!

It would be like watching Mission impossible with Tom Cruise, then in the next scene Brie Larson comes out and it slowly dawns on you that she is supposed to be Ethan Hunt... It created inconsistency and in my opinion should be re-recorded. Out of 46 chapters Elizabeth voices only 13. It felt random on which ones she does. If you were going to go through the trouble of bringing in another narrator, then at the very least you could have allowed her talents to shine by allowing her to take over all the female characters, while having Travis as the main narrator for the males to keep it coherent and consistent.

I really hope you listen to feedback in prep for Book 11 and consider how best to utilise Elizabeth's talents; assuming you plan to use her on that as well. Because it seemed like a real blunder to me. Otherwise would have been a 5/5

Amazing.

The book was amazing. I cannot wait for the next book as it ends on a cliff hanger
