Just finished Assassin’s Apprentice on audiobook after returning to the series.
I’d never heard the audio. I read this trilogy over a decade ago and decided to give it another readthrough with my book club.
Moving forward I’ll be sure to simply read the physical copies of the rest of the series.
Assassin’s Apprentice is a brilliant, beautiful and emotionally compelling story…
What Paul has done is an accomplishment in taking something rich and wonderful and flattening it into a flavorless, emotionally tone-deaf disaster of a narration.
He manages to suck any and all of the wit and charm out of Hobb’s work, he completely erases her characterizations with his bland and flavorless voice and monotone delivery.
Ugh… just unforgivably awful..
This series deserves better.
