September 6, 2019I listened to the audio drama version of this book. While volume one is well done and exciting, volume two is not. The pronunciations in both are weird, but it didn't bother me as much in the first volume as it did in this one. Don't most people pronounce "Christendom" as "kris-en-dum" not "kristin-dum" and "Christianity" as "kris-tchee-ann-it-tee" not "kristy-ann-it-ee"? I could maybe put up with those and other pronunciations but the narrators accents are soo bad. How about we all pretend to have Italian accents by adding "-a" to the end of every word?
Verdict: Maybe read the paperback and skip the audio.
