Well worth multiple listens

An amazing story, though very complex and requires a lot of concentration or a few reads to catch everything. Nuanced passages that are written very carefully, so as to express precisely what the author intends.

The reading performance is very good. A few small things here or there, but excellent character portrayal, though I imagined Kalam to sound different for a big, muscular man. Certain choices in emphasising words or parts of sentences, I believe, would have been different, had the narrator read the series a few times through, but that's the beauty of this book. Give him another go at it, and it would almost be an entirely different audiobook.

Heavy read (hearing). Not for everyone

Most of the writers deliver a work that is heavily tilted towards the common reader liking. They write a book that they hope people will enjoy. Erikson writes in the way HE enjoys his book to be written. The quality is undeniable. Every tapestry is carefully woven to the last detail, handled with love and religious respect for the material. This ends up being a piece of work targeting a very specific audience and not the majority. But this specific audience will have an unforgettable experience. A series for the ages, an instant classic, worth multiple upon multiple reads. And this being a long series, seldom does one find such quality as well as quantity in one product or work of art.
The voice actor is pretty good and generally delivers, with only very few mishaps here and there that don't draw from the experience.
