Marsters is a national treasure.. He literally is Dresden to me.


Listening to the first one and he is terrible. Does he get better? He sounds like the editor didn’t get good takes from him.

I don’t listen to audiobooks (it turns to background noise that I don’t really internalize), but I’ve heard of so many people rave about Marsters.

The first book is a rough to begin with and he might not have gotten a feel for the character yet.

Yes, he get's MUCH better, even by just the second book.

His first read is awful. The sighs and gasps throughout are over the top and annoying.

Does he get better? Much. Is he a great narrator/reader? Not really. I think he nails Dresden, but he is not very good with the female characters. Their inflections are way off most of the time. He does a great job with Butters and TootToot along with other unique characters.
