![]() ![]() ![]() Performing a story rather than just reading it is a difficult task to pull off well as I can only surmise given how often I have listened to poorly narrated let alone unadroitly performed novels on Audible. She has a voice for each character, sometimes subtle in nature but always unmistakably characteristic and consistent from the beginning to the end of the story. Instead, the characters are acted out by the brilliant Kim de Blecourt. Firstly, my Audible version of the book thankfully avoids the very annoying repetitions of “he said,” “she said…” within the narrative. I think that it is this latter case that best describes Deathless. But, when a great performer reads an incredibly well-written book, the synergy can bring the result to a whole new dimension of achievement. I've mentioned in these reviews that I think that a narrator, especially one who is also an actor, can make a good book seem better a bad narrator can sometimes tarnish the appeal of a book that is well-written. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first one had let me stow away in exchange for my collection of media files, with no ulterior motives, and had been so focused on its function that there had been hardly more communication between us than you’d have with a hauler bot.
