'Kim' was fine of course as an upper-crust Southerner, but the narrator's performance in this story has absolutely ensured that I won't be buying the audio of The Sugared Game or Subtle Blood. ![]() Cornell Collins/Matthew Lloyd Davies seemed to switch between *coughs* accents for Will, anything from a West Country accent to a dour Yorkshire man.sometimes even in the same sentence, and it was either mumbled or spoken so quickly that you had trouble understanding him his female voices are still non-existent and his Welsh accent for Maisie was laughable too. ![]() It was a REAL STRUGGLE to finish this one, and that had nothing to do with the story and EVERYTHING to do with the narrator. 1.5 stars only for the narration, so my overall rating for the story has lost a couple of stars I'm afraid. Yes, it's her story and of course, the choice is up to her BUT I really do wish she would try someone else. I LOVED this story, but as usual KJ has chosen Cornell Collins/Matthew Lloyd Davies to narrate. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments The hockey sweater book![]() ![]() After a mishap with the order, Roch is sent a Toronto Maple Leafs sweater.
