Overall I enjoyed this way of hearing the story, and will be listening to Warbreaker next! PS - Cosmere completists, there is a scene featuring a familiar character at the end of the 10th anniversary edition that is not included in this version. From what I have read sentence filler is mostly cut out. The shorter length of the production compared to the regular audiobook was also a plus for me. Probably not the most pure way to absorb the material. It did influence my view and thoughts on characters at times. Some of the chosen voices can be grating or overdone, but that is part of the fun. It can be corny and over the top, but the actors embody the characters. The production reminds me of watching television as a child. Some of the characters are simplistic, but charming in a fairy tale archetype sort of way. The magic system and description of the process of using magic was probably the best part. This is especially true when taking into account that this is his first published novel. The story itself is not the best work by Brandon Sanderson but is still well done.
