Terrible pronunciation!
Sadly it was returned only a few minutes in, I'm sure the stories are well researched and put together but the narrator can't pronounce the simplest of words, it's she sounds like an AI voice, it's simply not listenable.
Eg. 'Madagascar' is pronounced 'Mada-gas-kaaar, and I stopped when she pronounced 'Niche' as 'Nitch'.
Very dissaponted

20 mins in I've had enough
being from Ireland I skipped to the irish chapters and listened for not very long. the narrator is terrible. pronunciation of names and places are painful to hear. I know the irish language is difficult to read and pronounce but a little research will give you the sounds of the words. the narrator also hesitates and at one point corrected herself. I bought the book with the hopes of passing on some of the knowledge but how can I if I don't hear the correct words? I'm sure it is a wonderful book to read but as an audiobook read by this woman I am sadly done with it already. I was looking forward to listening to 30+ hours and judging by the high ratings I thought it would be enjoyable. maybe I'm the only irish person that's bought it? I'm sorry but I honestly cannot believe that anyone could give this book 5 stars

Disappointing
On the surface this book looked like a real winner. Great reviews. 36 hours of pure mythological gold. 6 books in 1, 'Today must be your lucky day', etc. My experience was very different. The content is actually good stuff, and has potential, but it seems to need some rather serious editing. For example, it launches straight in, without any introduction, giving me in 5 minutes 10 African myths, which went by so fast that I can't remember a single one. Then there was the grammar which at times began to grate on me. I doubt this is the failure of the narrator, probably rather with Kelly Mass' style of writing, which at times could be a bit too questionably colloquial.
Notwithstanding, the narration was poor. It's seemingly read without much understanding, almost as if the narrator is just looking at the words and pronouncing them, a bit like a robot. There are also mistakes the narrator makes, which become really difficult to ignore. The recording quality was a significant let down for such an expensive audio book, that was my first indication that this might have been a badly spent credit.
To be blunt, this is the kind of quality audio book I would expect from Librovox, not from Audible.
There's no way I could listen to all 36 hours of this. It's a return I'm afraid. Check out the 'Myths and Legends' podcast instead.
