To all accent haters

As a Scottish person from Glasgow I think his accents were excellent take buck for example very enjoyable to listen to although he does mix Glaswegian and Edinburgh accents but can be excused as he’s American well read and good story more of the same please

Scottish slang and fairy's Oh Ah!

Kevin is away with the fairy`s yet again and I am loving it. Nice to see the folklore a wee bit in everyone`s hearts.

Disappointed

Enjoyed the first book on Kindle but the accents ruined this tale. Storyline was weak compared to the first in the series.

The reader murdered a good story

I had to give up at the beginning of chapter 6. I was looking forward to this book, but the terrible, terrible accents of the reader rendered it unlistenable.

The Scots was awful, the Australian ridiculous and the Canadian absurd.

I’ll have to get the book instead.

Bad accents

Only got a few chapters in, found the accents made this a very hard listen. I will buy the book and read it myself.

This SHOULD have been an Iron Druid novella

Lazy, lackluster, and padded to hell with pointless filler - this is novella at best.

please Luke Daniels, stop trying the accent

loved the story but nearly had to give up with it as Luke Daniels narration and awful accents are almost too much... just STOP with the bad Scots accent and use your own lovely voice 🤷🏻‍♀️

Had to stop listening

The characters accents were a lot worse than the first book.
Was this guy drunk at the time or what?
I'm sorry your book was spoiled Mr Hearne, after all I am an avid fan of your Iron Druid Chronicles.
If this were re-recorded with a much better narrator I would be willing to try again.
