Thorn's Voice

[minionnumber2]

I ended up getting the audio book version of Murtagh from Amazon because I have a free book with my prime account and I need something to listen to during my workday. This is the voice that they chose for Thorn. This is the official, audiobook version of Thorn.

Do we know who the narrator is? Paolini didn't want to cross the streams and get Jennifer Hale again?

I assume you meant for this to be a top level comment, but his name is Gerard Doyle and it looks like his audiobook experience has been a combination of children's books and mystery / thrillers. It looks like he did the rest of The Inheritance Cycle so now I'm curious to hear how he tackled Saphira and Glaedr.

In fairness a dragon's voice would probably be difficult to get right.

If either of them show up in this book I'll post a sample for you. Audiobook's 25 hours so might take a bit.

Wait, so he did all the other books? In that case he's definitely read how Thorn is supposed to sound. Inheritance is a pretty forgettable book, though, so I guess I can't really be surprised if he doesn't remember.

Oh, that's Gerard? He did a much better job with the previous books, I wonder why he's decided to go this weird route.

Does anyone remember if Thorn had any dialogue in Inheritance of which we could compare an audio sample?

Yep, in the chapter "A Sea of Nettles".
