[OB] Overhyped

Quote

"[This] is a character-driven book, and Kramer’s and Reading’s portrayals will help listeners settle in for the intertwined plotlines as the protagonists carry out their separate but connected stories. Each narrator draws on a deep reserve of voices and accents while maintaining a quick pace. Equally adept with dialogue, rumination, and long narrative passages, they make the hours fly by."―AudioFile Magazine on Words of Radiance, Book Two of the Stormlight Archive.

When you are overhyped re-reading Amazon blurbs for Oathbringer, you might get totally confused ... e.g., reading the above: Why are Parshendi settling in "Intertwined Plotlines"? And where for heavens sake is this??

Parshendi aren't even mentioned in that quote?

But, but... This is about the audio book, right? They're talking about people listening to it...

I was making fun of my overhyped state ...   I really misunderstood at first; my brain struggled desperately to make sense of it ...
