Very poor narration

It's amazing the narration is done by a person with a thick Indian accent. It is hard to listen to and actually quite annoying.

Absolutely terrible narration

I could not even make it through Chapter 1. You would think that Audible would vet the narrators beforehand, but it would seem not. Absolutely awful. No emotion or drama to the storytelling, and completely distracted from what otherwise are some fantastic stories.
