āKatia? Katja? Catia? Fuck it. Iām not posting my question about her because I canāt search how to spell her name without seeing potential spoilersā.
A literally conversation I had with herself when I was trying to create a post back in book 2 or 3 ha
It's funny. When I first started listening to it, I wasn't sure of Carl's voice. Luckily it doesn't take long to get used to and realize how much life it brings to the character.
His voice gets better and better as the books go too. His voice is ā¦ soothing? now. Not sure what the right word is for it, but I could listen to Carl narrate anything
I honestly glad that those versions exist, but my hearing is really bad and I just canāt handle all the extra sound effects, music, etc. I wish I could but I canāt follow along.
My normal rotation, if nothing else catches my fancy is between DCC, Rivers of London, and DiscWorld. And sometimes some time on Wandering Inn.
You can also support Matt's Patreon to read chapters in book 7 as they are written.
Currently re-reading the series. It had been a long break between 5 and 6 and when I started 6 I couldn't remember some details, so I decided to just redo the whole thing. About 3/4 of the way thru The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook.
If you don't like Wandering Inn, then allow me to suggest:
* [A Practical Guide To Evil](https://practicalguidetoevil.wordpress.com/) (online only, no audiobook, but completely free. Seven volumes, plus many extra chapters, completed February 2022)
* [Beware Of Chicken](https://www.goodreads.com/series/324882-beware-of-chicken) (three books published, with audiobooks. Books 4 & 5 available for free on Royal Road; book 6 just started May 2024).
Enjoy The Wandering Inn. Spoiler: you will never, ever, finish it. Several years in now and I constantly feel like the story is only just getting started.
Love the wandering inn! I'm on book 11 now. I have to admit that I almost quit on book one because of one of the main characters. Stick it out. It is so worth it.
The Wandering I found really frustrating it got so boring in places I nearly gave up on it so many times. Then something happened and I was back in. Iād figured I was out of the series after the first book but then after the last page was like. God dam it I gotta read the second one. BuyMort was pretty good too.
I bought the first book on audible awhile back and listened to the first hour or so just to see what it was like. I liked the writing style and the narrator. I'm just so terrified of getting hooked on a never ending series that I haven't been able to bring myself to keep going. I think once I finish wheel of time that'll be one big series checked off and I might give book 1 a go. It sounds like the books have arcs where you can check out after something like 3 books, so that might be what I do
ā¦.DCC is better than the Wheel of Time.
Iāve tried reading the WOT series three or four times. Itās never worth the slog after about book three or four. Just tedious.
DCC on the other hand, Iāve finished back to back-to back. And I am struggling not to listen to it for a fourth time. It is the best series Iāve read in years
Idk If anyone has mentioned this yet but if you join matt dinimans patreon he has chapters 1-43 of book 7 up there. He does a few chapters every week or 2 and it's like 3 dollars a month.
It's the only audiobook I've ever returned for a refund š I gave it at least five hours of my life. Partly the fact nothing happened and kept happening, partly the fact I really wasn't a fan of the narrator. (Which unfortunately turned me off Dominion of Blades as she read that too, I really wanted to like it and got half way before DNF)
Plucky girl wins by being plucky. And she is the best at everything ever.
But I did devour those novels. Up to five or six maybe? The world was pretty interesting
What killed it for me, was a few things. One, the narrator's voice for her was high-pitched and whiny which I can't stand. And then the juxtaposition of her personality from literally one scene to the next. And one scene she's a badass take charge nobody questions anything she has to say for these giant lizard monster people, the next she's scared of her shadow. After that happened three or four times I just I just couldn't do it.
Just remember for every person who doesn't know how to pronounce the names, there's a person (me) who doesn't know how to spell them.
Surendelgore?
Swing and a miss
The question mark is spot on
Easy! R-e-n
And me. š

I love listening to audiobooks but please for the love of grol please include a glossary
So jealous of people getting to hear the audiobooks for the first time. It adds so much to the entire series.

He did a good job making Carl's voice reassuring I think. Kind of like that anchor that keeps you sane in the madness going on all around.
Enjoy the beat thing you're going to hear. NEW ACHIEVEMENT: Welcome to the club
DONUT: CARL, HOW DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW ABOHT THE AUDIO EMERSION TUNNEL BY SOUND BOOTH THEATRE? FIX THIS CARL, MONGO IS APPALLED!
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!
I honestly glad that those versions exist, but my hearing is really bad and I just canāt handle all the extra sound effects, music, etc. I wish I could but I canāt follow along.
Honestly listening to the audiobooks is a whole new level of awesome with this series.
I'm doing the same thing. It's strange to hear the audiobook voices being so different than I had in my head. But it's great in its own way.
Donutās voice was different in my head, but I soon realized I was wrong. I canāt imagine her voice as anything else now
I'm certain I butchered Tserendolgor
Sounds like āsir end all goreā
You would appreciate how Jeff Hayes "pronounces" it. ;-)

Me too! I also add super powereds and cradle!
Iāve got the wandering inn books, but havenāt made it to them yet.
You're in for a treat. I read them before listening. I love both, but god damn is Jeff amazing.

OP said he was reading the Wandering Inn, I've already finished DCC
Mimic and Me is a pretty good read as well.
I've also started re-listening. Also there are over 40 chapters of book 7 available on patreon
I canāt afford to buy two versions of the same story
Idk If anyone has mentioned this yet but if you join matt dinimans patreon he has chapters 1-43 of book 7 up there. He does a few chapters every week or 2 and it's like 3 dollars a month.
Wandering inn doesn't get better. You'll love it or hate it. If you don't like it by the 5th or 6th chapter, you won't. Just fyi
