De: M.M. Crumley

Narrado por: Colin Brown

One word... Gac.

Returning to normal after spending fifty years as a fae is too much for anyone to process, maybe even too much for Doc Holliday. As Doc struggles to readjust to a normal existence, the last thing he needs is a fight for all he holds dear, but when Eli Gac reemerges more dangerous than ever, that’s exactly what Doc gets. Some people just can’t let go of the past; and if Gac gets what he’s after, he may not have to. In a race against time, will the return of George Armstrong Custer signal the end of Doc Holliday forever?

Once again, utterly ruined by the narrator

I used to love these books. They were incredibly entertaining and they were filled with energy and memorable characters.
Now that’s all gone. Story is probably on par with previous ones, but it’s hard to tell. The characters are completely lifeless. The voice is droning, inflections flat, timing is odd-there’s no natural rhythm to conversations. It’s like the narrator doesn’t know how to read punctuation and doesn’t care enough to create distinct characters. It is impossible to know who’s talking. Not only because all the voices sound the same (male/female/old/young/human/not human) but the complete absence of any rhythm means you can’t tell when one person stops talking and another person starts. Or between conversation and description. It requires constant deciphering.
I imagine him reading from a block of text, no punctuation, indents, or quotation marks. Just a solid block of words. That’s what it sounds like.
It’s tedious. I don’t look forward to them at all. It’s just something I have to get through in order to stay updated.
The only reason I still buy these is because I stuck with it for so long and used to enjoy them so much I’m attached to the characters and have this fantasy they’ll change narrators and I want to keep up. But my investment in what happens wanes with every book as my memories of the previous vibrancy does.

The 3 ratings of “story” “narration” and “overall” always makes me feel like I’m supposed to average them but that’s not how it works. In some cases the narrator is more important than the story. A good one can save a lackluster or even bad book. A bad one can obscure or make an otherwise great book unlistenable. It’s the latter in this case, and it’s not improving. If they don’t change it I’ll have to give up the series.
