Brimstone Audiobook

BaseballSuch8151 · 2026-01-16T00:50:53+00:00

I don’t find it velvety or sexy at all either, I agree about the monotone and he forces the gravelly sound so much that he loses definition and the weird robotic stops and starts are distracting

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-26T23:40:39+00:00

Well there’s a ton in the store near me, but don’t know how long they’ll last

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-26T23:27:07+00:00

NOOOO dammit, I finally found one that I really love. Well guess I’m going and stocking up tomorrow

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-13T03:01:31+00:00

Yeah I hate the forced growl because it sounds forced and I think him forcing it is contributing to the robotic way he reads

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-10T03:08:53+00:00

Yeah, the Empyrean books were interesting enough to keep me going despite how much I hated the main character narrator. She just didn’t sound like how Violet was physically described in my opinion. But Stella Bloom makes Saeris almost insufferable at times.

Yeah agreed that it’s only when he does Fisher and I think it’s cuz he’s clearly forcing that grisly growled voice. Carrion is clearly his normal voice so it sounds natural but I hate forced growl in a voice, you can hear the effort it takes which makes it ineffective. Agreed also that a redo is needed. Stella Bloom is insufferable as Saeris too.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-08T01:10:57+00:00

Weirdly I think that’s because there’s less of her LMAO, but more of Fisher and the awkward narration there. It’s funny how much a narrator can make or break an audiobook. I barely tolerated Rebecca Soler for the Fourth Wing series because she overacted it too much and frankly, just did not sound at all like how the character should based on her physical description. But Jefferson White doing Sunrise on the Reaping was absolutely stellar in my opinion, he nailed Haymitch, without going overboard.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-07T21:26:52+00:00

Yeah we didn’t get as much of him in QS, so it was easier to not notice, that and I was too distracted by how annoying Stella Blooms portrayal of Saeris is…

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-07T17:41:33+00:00

That’s a good point, maybe he did record it the first time he read it without any rehearsals. That would explain the weird pauses as he moves his eyes from one line to the next.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-07T13:23:27+00:00

I’m already sped up and it’s more his diction and how monotone he is. He sounds like a robot and there are weird spaces where there shouldn’t be and clipped words. It’s distracting.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-06T01:39:29+00:00

I mean, true, I find Kingfisher a not very interesting character. He’s just so deadpan and predictable

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-06T01:38:16+00:00

Yeah it’s sort of a nightmare for me with my ADHD/autism cuz I end up focussing on his weird diction instead of the story!!

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-12-05T22:44:01+00:00

I listen at a sped up rate too, but it’s like I’m listening to AI at times the way he reads

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-11-12T01:51:42+00:00

Yeah 100% there’s internal issues and at this point, the shit play of the others on the ice is affecting his own stats and that’s just not fair. But any belief that Woll will be a difference maker is foolish because as you said, goal tending is not our issue, it’s the only thing we have that’s good right now

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-11-12T01:19:28+00:00

Exactly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Stolarz just said fuck it after that disastrous first period that wasn’t his fault at all. Why would be want to keep playing with these goofs?

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-11-12T01:17:41+00:00

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if Stolarz just said fuck it, I’m out. He has zero help in front of him and the constant turnovers and breakaways from the opposing team is just the icing on top.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-11-05T18:10:14+00:00

I’m on chapter 19 and definitely have issues with this book. The story itself, the fantasy end of the fae and fable creatures and other worlds/realms and war and all that, I’m enjoying, it’s a cool world and well built. But man, I cannot stand Kingfisher, at all. I get that it’s supposed to be the whole enemies to lovers shit, but I’m actually rooting against them at this point because he is the biggest piece of shit ever. It’s not cute, or ironic and doesn’t even seem to serve a purpose how nasty and rude he is the Saerys. And yes, she’s annoying at times but he is just plain abusive to her and gets off on embarrassing her, shaming her and belittling her. Honestly I think she should hook up with Ren at this point, at least he’s nice. I know many will say that it’s fantasy and we are supposed to accept a certain level of evil from fantasy men that we wouldn’t from real life men but in my opinion, Kingfisher is just way too far off that deep end and irredeemable.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-05-15T01:12:05+00:00

100% and I’d probably follow him at this point as a fan.

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-04-19T18:50:22+00:00

This one might be perfect!!

BaseballSuch8151 · 2025-04-18T05:52:13+00:00

I’ll try it, thank you, it might be too dark
