Audiobook Review

Blood of elves audiobook mp3 is wonderful. The development of characters is very defined. Overall, the story progresses quite quickly as well. The major difference between Blood of Elves and other books is that the story involves major parts from other characters than Geralt. In the previous novels, Geralt was always the center of attention. In my opinion, though, the parts where Geralt is not the center, are a little slow and dull.

One drawback that I felt was that the writing style seemed a little off and difficult to comprehend sometimes. It is partly because the original book was written in Polish and translated into English. Nevertheless, it is worth a read and listen.

Narrator

The audiobook was narrated by Peter Kenny, who is an award-winning narrator. He did a fantastic job with this book. The highs and lows were perfect, and his voiceover was uncanny to the personalities of the characters.
