I had a very hard time getting through the first few chapters of Fourth Wing on my kindle and nearly DNFed it. But many reviews said the GraphicAudio was amazing so I used my Audible credits and damn, they were right. Once I was on GraphicAudio, I was flying through the book.
The voice of Xaden was incredibly well done and the narrator really delivered Xaden's character on a silver platter. Rhianon is just as I would imagine her to sound like and even though Dain's character is trash, his voice makes me swoon. One voice that irks me is actually Violet's. As a narrator, she's fine but as Violet, she doesn't deliver the lines in line with the tone/mood that was set in some scenes which throws me off here and there. Liam's voice also doesn't match how I would have wanted him to sound like. He's younger than Xaden but his voice is much deeper. His character is boyish and mischievous but his voice belongs to a mafia killer. It's quite a mismatch. Don't get me wrong, I love his voice. It just doesn't seem to suit his character.
Tairn and Andarna's voices were amazingly executed. Tairn's narrator perfectly captured the old, stern and regal way of speaking while still delivering deadpan humour. We didn't get too much scenes with Andarna but she sounds just as she should.
All in all, an amazing audiobook.
