The story itself is ok, but a new recording would be highly beneficial. If I hadn’t read the books in physical form first I’d probably not have made it all the way through. They’re what keeps the story going in the recorded versions of this series. She makes Daine’s voice very dramatic and excitable.
The actress who voices Daine (the main character) is slightly annoying too. This is one of the only books where I’ve sped up the playback speed, though it can only be sped up a tiny bit before the other voices become too fast. It takes a while to get into the story because of that, and can be jarring going back and forth between the characters and the narrator. When humans start cutting down trees and digging holes in peaceful Dunlath Valley, the wolves know that something is wrong. The narrated parts in between the characters speaking are extraordinarily slow and deliberate, and that’s coming from someone who grew up in the south and is used to a slower rhythm of speech. While it can be interesting to have an author as the reader, and often good, it doesn’t work here. The full cast audio versions for these need work.
