I might have enjoyed this more if it was Ice T as the narrator. He might be an adequate narrator for other books, but this was a fantasy story. The word "sword" is very common, and each time he says it the W is very present. There were other issues I had with the narration, but that was the biggest thing to irk me. It took me out of the story, and I couldn't follow along as well as I have with all the other stories from the collection, with their various narrators. ( )
