He skillfully generated a plethora of voices to suit every character, thus making it very easy to listen to and to follow the story and dialogue. My worries were made void by the awesome narration of Ralph Lister who made the experience of listening to this audiobook an absolute bliss.

None the less I remember the first book to be kinda hard to follow, the world is rich and complicated and Erikson's style, though brilliant and evocative, can require some time to getting used to. I have read all the books from this series and loved them all with a great passion for over 10 years.
