Good engaging Abercrombie Story as always

Good engaging Abercrombie story as always, well written and an enjoyable read. Not as riveting as the blade it’s self etc but strong worth the read

Sound production lets it down

Great story as always with Abercrombie. Though. The sound production of the narration is the challenge here. So many harsh s sounds that could have used a better handling I post or a re-recording makes this series often rough to the ear. Shame on a decent voice acting effort.
