volume adjustment

the narrator spoke in such a low/some times muffled voice it as hard to understand parts of the story I had to turn the volume up very loud to hear and understand what he was saying

Amazing series

Wow Wow Wow
No spoilers. I just finished the audiobook for this book after listening to the first 3. The narrator Alessandro Juliani is excellent. The last book (3-Sign of the unicorn ) held more talking than action, but it explained so many things. In this book there's so much action and much more is explained and plots develop. The ending was amazing. I had to rewind it 10 times, and I got goosebumps every time.
Others have explained some of the plot but you need to start at the fist book (1- Nine Princes of Amber). I look at these books as chapters not as separate books. Great series so far.
