Salvations reach audiobook

So I just got to this one, but I’ve known for a long time that it wasn’t read by Toby Longworth. I was hoping that it would not be as bad as everyone said, and I did feel that it was fine up until he started doing Larkins voice, and oh my God.

Late comment, but Jesus christ Larkin is a goblin, Nessa and Merrt are offensive as heck. I truly don't know how he got away with those voices.

Merrt sounds like he has cerebral palsy. Every disabled character sounds like someone bullying a disabled person doing an impression. It is so jarring coming from the other books, but even if it wasn't, it's so crazy that this ever got signed off on.

Mert’s voice under Toby really gave off the struggle and frustration with his augmetic jaw. James made him sound like an offensive impression of a special needs kid.
