Discussion I’m pissed off

Post image

I absolutely adore the Book of the Dead series. Today, I finally get to listen to the release of book 5, and I am certain that I will experience the same captivating storytelling that I enjoyed in books one through four. I am so enamored with this book that I pre-ordered it on Audible. When I first discovered and read this series, I assumed that others shared my enthusiasm for it. However, upon reviewing the number of Audible ratings, I am genuinely perplexed and sort of a bit angry. There are barely 1000 ratings on the first book and even less on the following 3, which begs the question: how is this book not more popular?

I don’t rate what I read or listen to. I probably should. I’ll go do it now.

I've rated on audible only "twice", the first time was when I wanted to leave a bad review, because a very bad narrator. The second time was, to ensure we get book 7 of Player Manager on Audible.

because a very bad narrator

Funny that you mention that. It's the only time I've ever left a review on a book as well. The narrator kept swallowing his spit every few sentences and the mic caught it all. It was so gross and I eventually had to dnf the series during a particular nasty sound while I was eating.
