Narration lets it down
This series is great - soem of the terms used seem very Amnerican (I don't know if the audiobook was read from a version edited for an American market or if those are the terms the author chose) but on the whole it's v ery nicely done, full of engaging characters and an intriguing ongoing storyline.
The narrator... Lets it down a bit. Most of her accents are OK but some of them are AWFUL. That would be forgivable if her timing and intonation were better, and she learned to include the written puntuation in how she reads the text. Also, she has a tendency to default to American pronunciation, rather than English for a number of words, and it is jarring enough to disrupt the flow.
