I can't thank you enough for the incredible narration. I know it's my first, but I wasn't expecting such a performance by someone with so diverse, deep, and emotive a talent. Whether it's the amusement of hearing the flower seller, the mynah bird and your brilliant library of 'servants', to the frightening dual-antagonists in the tower (how can I be so tense in those scenes listening to you when I know the story backwards???), it was simply a stunning piece of work.

It was a real pleasure working with you. I loved your presentation of Blood Loss. You did a fantastic job making a technically complex narrative feel real, immediate and totally engaging. I would love to work with you again, and will be knocking at your door the moment I have a suitable project. Andy Maslen

It is narrated by Greg Patmore, with Bridget Thomas voicing the female parts. I honestly think that both narrators have done a fantastic job with the book and I couldn’t be happier. Toric’s Dagger has some challenges to narrate, not least the range of characters that you get with epic fantasy titles like this one. Greg’s incredible vocal range really brings the characters to life, and at times it sounds like several actors have been used in the recording. Another unique challenge was the telepathy used between the two central characters, Belwynn and Soren. In print, this is handled by the use of italics – but of course that’s not an option with an audio-book! Greg has used an echo effect on his and Bridget’s voices. It clearly indicates to the listener that the characters are speaking telepathically, without being intrusive. You can listen to the effect yourself in the first few seconds of the sample above. I think elements like this, as well as the male and female voices, really make this recording stand out. Jamie Edmundson
