Really terrible Australian Accents

So on a whole I enjoyed the story and generally speaking Luke Daniels does a great job, however, the Australian accents that are done throughout are super terrible. I don’t know if it’s because I’m Australian that I particularly notice how bad they are …but it was bad to the extent that it made it difficult to listen to and take seriously. It sounded like someone trolling Australian accents. Also he couldn’t seem to decide how he wanted to say things from one sentence to the next. It’s an enjoyable story and still worth listening to… just prepare yourself.

A sweet story with more odd accents.

We add ridiculous Aussie accents to the list. I think it's hard for the narrator to differentiate between the different English accents when multiple characters speak at once. But what he lacks in accuracy he makes up for with heart. The story does lack some development however. It is more akin to Hearne's novellas. Mostly character dialogue and very simplistic action. I'd say the plot is weaker here than in the first novel. Though it was lovely to see the Iron Druid and his dogs again.
