Another thing I learned is that I'm growing VERY tired of M/M authors writing grown-ass men and making them sound like goofy, sentimental, horny kids. He usually brings so much humour and sass to his narration - but he was given the chapters for a part-gargoyle ex- secret service agent and managed to make him sound bored. Michael Ferraiuolo in particular sounded like he phoned in his chapters. Therefore, it sounded like they didn't get the chance to emotionally invest either. When an audiobook is produced like this, the narrators don't get the 'whole story', they're sent their particular chapters to narrate. It made it difficult for me to emotionally invest in the characters and ended up irritating me. I know that all of these narrators are talented and well-liked within the genre and I've listened to books they've narrated - but the chopping and changing of narrator for each chapter jarred badly and pulled me out of the story. Audio dramas are great - when all performers take part in the same scene, but when one book is split up and a bunch of narrators take alternate chapters, sorry but I just hated it. Well, this book taught me a few things about myself! First, that I do not like multi-narrator audiobooks.
