I'm sorry I don't like leaving negative reviews as I understand the work put into these productions. However in this case I need to forewarn you that the narrator speaks as though he's drunk or has a jaw problem restricting movement. I honestly had to replay a few sections to understand what was being said. The second issue is mispronounced names. Yes they are ancient names, and can be vocalised in different patterns but some have established pronunciations. Overall disappointing.

The worst narration I've heard yet
