Good continuation of the series, awful narration

I have really enjoyed the series. The stories are a bit predictable, but I enjoy the characters and stories. The narration in book 3 though is awful. This narrator isnt the same as in the first two. The pacing is amazingly distracting. Breaths between sentences are good things. So is voice modulation. I paid for the title because I was invested in the series, but had I know it was this bad, I would have passed. It almost sounds AI generated.
