About this listen

Young, brash, and impulsive, Rune backs up a brag by ascending Skull Hill to play fiddle for the malevolent spirit that resides there, striking a bargain with the ghost to surrender her soul if he tires of her playing before sunrise.

I know the story and love the story. Unfortunately I listened to this despite the narrator not because of them. Absolutely the worst character accents that are some terrible mish-mash of what the narrator thinks Irish and English people sound like and it wavers all over the place with inconsistent sounds. Please, if you can’t do a good accent, then don’t try. I hope more of the Bardic Voices series are recorded by a different narrator!

Great story, shame about the accents!

the accents ..I have literally no idea if the narrator was going for deep south american, west country English, Irish, Scottish or even Jamaican. weird stilting choked out words that wobble around all over the place.
Thankfully the story was engaging enough for an easy car listen because the accents were just awful!!

great story and characters but Oh my god the worst narration!

Wow. This narration should get an award for the worst accents ever inflicted on listeners. I was cringing every time Rune spoke. Her accent didn't stay the same from one sentence to the next.

The story was good, though. My only gripes about it were the on-the-nose "telling rather than showing" all the way through, and that halfway through the book it started to jump POVs, so completely lost focus of whose story it was supposed to be

Awful, awful, awful narration
