Conn story telling is immaculate, characters leap out, action plays out and the plot weaves about. This series however was spoiled by the change in narrator and the latest ones lack of clarity in pronunciation. Whilst the producers may have wanted Latin a La Caeser, what the contemporary ear needed was 21st c pronunciation. The W instead of the V, the K instead of the C were all a mistake as they jarred the ear and confused the understanding. Poor narration of book 3 and beyond spoiled a superb series.

Brilliant story, poor narration

Just forced myself to listen to all 14 hrs of the book and winced every time Kikero ( Cicero) and Otawian (Octavian) are mentioned. aaaaaaghh!!!!
Then, he had to say the famous line Weni Wedi Wici ( because he can't pronounce his letter V )
Great story but please don't employ this narrator ever again!!

The book is excellent but it was a real struggle with the narration, there was very little change in voice acting between characters, voices changed and worse of all was the terrible pronunciation of some names and even items… unfortunately I found it detracts from what would have been an excellent read.

Great book… but with an issue
