Beautiful narration!!

I could have listened to the KJV Bible for free on a popular Bible app, but after comparing the robotic narration on the app to the sample of CG here on Audible, I decided it was worth spending a credit to listen here. I have no regrets; beautiful narration that really brings the word to life! Blessed is the Lord for his word and blessed it Christopher Glyn for presenting It so marvellously.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 389
Is this Armageddon for the Artemis Fowl? Opal Koboi, power-crazed pixie, is plotting to exterminate mankind and become fairy queen. If she succeeds, the spirits of long-dead fairy warriors will rise from the earth, inhabit the nearest available bodies and wreak mass destruction. But what happens if those nearest bodies include crows, or deer, or badgers - or two curious little boys by the names of Myles and Beckett Fowl? Yes, it’s true. Criminal mastermind Artemis Fowl’s four-year-old brothers could be involved in destroying the human race.

The narration spoilt it
Reviewed: 08-01-20
After listening to the previous books in this series, I found the narration of this book quite disappointing. I had gotten used to the voices of the characters in the previous books but I found the voices and accents in this one quite distracting and I found myself losing interest in the story more often than not. I could not understand why Opal has an Asian accent here.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,218
Elantris was built on magic, and it thrived. But then the magic began to fade, and Elantris began to rot. Now its shattered citizens face domination by a powerful Imperium. Can a young Princess unite the people of Elantris and lead a rebellion against the imperial zealots? Brandon Sanderson's debut fantasy showed his skill as a storyteller and an imaginer of baroque magical systems to be fully developed from the start.
