I read the first two Ancillary books, but now I have started the third one, immediately after finishing the second, as it became available for download from my library as an audiobook. The narrator is a woman with a British accent - probably the same one you abandoned. And, with it, I joined the new Audiobook Reading Challenge.


The woman who narrated Justice is named Celeste Ciulla. She didn't have an British accent that I can remember. The narrator I find listed for Mercy is Adjoa Andoh so maybe that's the one you're listening to. As soon as I get off of work today, I'm heading to the library to pick up Mercy! Excited to live in the world for a bit longer before finishing out the series.

I do most of my "reading" via listening to audiobooks so the Audiobook challenge is going to be awesome for me! It's amazing how a good narration can really add or detract from the material. I listened to the book Razorhurst by Justine Larbalestier for the Keep Calm and Read SF from Down Under and the 2015 Trick or Treat challenges and it was f really fun for me! I live in the southwest US but the book takes place in 1930's Sydney Australia and was read by Australian voice actors, really helping me feel in the world of the book. And with lines like "in the sweltering January sun," I felt truly immersed in this world so different from my own.
