But given this performance, I will just read the new book. I would repurchase this if re-recorded by Jennifer Ikeda. If it is not important to you to have proper grammar, tense and pronoun agreement or valid pronunciation then one might be able to suffer through.
Some words and names are said overly dramatically others carelessly and many details make it obvious the reader is not familiar with other languages or dialects. I could understand if the reader was just unfamiliar with other languages and used all American pronunciations but she uses multiple different inflections and sounds for some names even in the same paragraph. It is glaringly obvious which parts were either not written by Harkness or not finessed by the original editors of the series. Yet when so many names and even words are mispronounced, it is difficult.
