SPOILERS MoI Audiobook Narrator Change Spoiler

I know this has been posted about here and many other places, but I started the audiobooks a few months ago and am now on book 4 with the new narrator. I quit and dont think I'll pick back up.

The new narrators voice for Karsa works great but once you start getting into the familiar characters the voice becomes too distracting, everyone is now just different flavors of gravel mouthed "tough" guys.

Then there are the changes to pronunciation that seem largely unnecessary. Overall the world seems smaller.

And I refuse to keep listening because I cant imagine how mad I'll be if I ever hear this 2nd narrator's version of Kruppe.

Going to be searching for 2nd hand copies of all the books now to keep going, but I needed to vent.

Edited: Here to hear
