![]() ![]() The daughter of a professor and a scholar of medieval literature and languages in her own right, Rosalind Hawkins is uncertain as to what her future holds when her father dies unexpectedly and she learns his creditors intend to take everything he'd ever owned. (4 stars for the book, 1 star for the narrator for a total of 2.5 stars) I will also preview books by this producer more thoroughly before purchasing. I will not purchase another book read by this narrator, and am very glad the rest of the books in this series have different performers. ![]() I'm surprised the audio editor didn't pay closer attention, considering the number of production staff listed at the end of the book. Finding pronunciations is as easy as going to a dictionary website, where the word will be pronounced for you. But these errors so permeated the "performance" that I was all-to-often jerked out of the world of the book. Minor errors are to be expected in recorded books as an occasional typo might be found it the printed version. Words are mispronounced throughout the recording and some are even transposed or changed ("appeal" for "appear", "or" for "on", "she" for "he"). As mentioned in a previous review, the narrator is wooden and does not clearly differentiate the various characters. ![]() I cannot recommend this version of the book due to the very poor narration. I too love this tale, as well as the rest of the Elemental Master series, and have read it a number of times in book format. ![]()
