I’m not a huuuge fan of early rincewind books anyhow, so that may be clouding my opinions. I’m still on sourcery, so I’ll reserve judgement on the wizzards section until after the UU faculty properly gets fleshed out once Ridcully takes over. (As those two series for me intertwine a lot with the events of reaperman, soul music and hogfather) Not a huge fan of Colin Morgans reading so far and Sian Clifford felt a little rushed for me initially in Mort, but I’ve settled nicely into both. I’m currently hopping between Death and Wizzards. Some of my favourite audiobook listening. I'd be interested to know if anyone has listened to the new versions first and has the opposite feeling?Īs someone who never listened to the Planner or Briggs ones, here’s my take on the new ones. Maybe I'm entering curmudgeon-dom early but the new versions just feel 'off'.Īm I alone here or do you, my fellow Discworlders, have any idea on why the new audiobooks feel weird? The music is better IMO but the voices don't seem to fit.

I can't quite put my finger on it, sure the audio quality is better, but the pacing feels wrong. Having just finished The Shepherd's Crown and with the new ones burning a hole in my hard-drive, I thought today I would start over again at The Colour of Magic but something doesn't feel right.

This year, as a Christmas gift, I was lucky enough to receive the new discworld audiobook collection with the promise of a full set as they are released.įor years I have enjoyed the old (Nigel Planer/Celia Imrie/Stephen Briggs) audiobooks, listening to them in the car, first in order 1->41, then following each story arc according to the reading order guide.
