Replace narrator
What would have made Death's Mistress better?
A Narrator that knew at least some of the context, previously used pronunciations and was able to read the words correctly and not the words they thought they saw.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Christina Traister?
I'll give anyone else a try
Any additional comments?
For the first time in a long time I'm going to have to read a book as the early narration destroyed this for me

The most annoying narrator ever in the whole series!
First of all all books so far by told by a male narrator and now this one is narrated by a female who has no clue how to pronounce names like Jagang, Sulachan and mane others. At least she didn’t called Kahlan, KALÁN like once someone read her name in the previous series. I wonder why narrators do not do research of what has been done previously, those could have been easily avoidable mistakes.
Regarding the story I will give an update once I finish the book if that is this narrator lady does not drive me crazy.

Packs in a lot of action
What did you like best about Death's Mistress? What did you like least?
There is a lot of action, but not much new information on Nicci or Nathan's background.
Would you be willing to try another one of Christina Traister’s performances?
No, the voices were flat.

Unsuitable narrator
Ruined by unsuitable narrator, with a voice and style more suited to children’s books, lacking the character and menace needed for these stories. She makes it sound like a light hearted picnic, as well as annoyingly mispronouncing names.

Disappointing narration
Big fan of the sword of truth series and was looking forward to following Nicci, who is one of the best characters in the stories. The tale is good, if not as dynamic and gritty as expected - it seems in places as though it was meant for a younger audience than before.
The biggest downside is the narrator. Poor pronunciation of words and mistakes mostly ruined it for me. Sorry.

I wish I could have been kinder
I have enjoyed all previous Terry Goodkind books. Unfortunately I have struggled with this edition mainly because of the narration. Consequently I have stopped using my audible book and reverted to reading from my library book version.

Good story but a tad predictable.
I will start by saying that I loved the Sword of Truth series but I didn't really get on with this one. Although the story in itself is good and it's good spending time with some other characters I found it all too predictable, certain parts felt rushed and it came across as quite self righteous.

Loved it!
I love anything from this series. It's nice to branch out and see more in depth character development from other important characters while waiting for the next instalment from Richard and Khalan x
