I've listened to both WoK and WoR on Graphic Audio.
These are essentially told like the radio plays of earlier decades.
I will say that the characters when I read the books now have the GA voices.
I think Dalinar and Syl are done perfectly, I actually enjoyed The Lopen, reminded on Michael Pena's character from 'Ant-Man'.
I wasn't impressed by Navani who I think sounded too much like an old lady rather than the strong, Alethi matriarch she is in the books.
Special mention to the Narrator, Dylan Lynch, he does the job perfectly.

*** Small spoilers for WoK and WoR below  ***

Chapter: He who Saves in WoR
To hear Syl actually screaming at Kaladin and the Stormfather, then to suffer along with Kaladin and hear him speak the third Oath through tears and pain.
It sends chills through you. I cannot recommend the Graphic Audio versions of these books enough.

For me I've read WoK and WoR 3 times each and listened to the GA of both twice. I find the GA best for when multi-tasking as I already know the story and can listen with half an ear as it were.
I do think the prices are a little high, however, you are paying for over a hundred hours of audio and voice actors time. I assume the background ambient sounds are all stock audio.

Yes, yes, YES! A million times yes, everything Vercent said here is 100% accurate for me too. Reading OB the voices in my head were those of the voice actors for the GA versions. I did like Navani I have to admit, wasn't how I first pictured the voice but it grew on me. I do especially love Syl and Shallan, their voices were perfect for how I had first imagined them and I honestly could not envision them any other way now.

As for the Chapter quoted, I actually heard this as a tiny extract before purchasing GA. This tiny 1-2 minute clip of that scene convinced me to get these versions of the book. I could not recommend it another. I'm out and about all day with my business, which works perfectly with listening to audio books, and I was so happy when I discovered Graphic Audio.

Edit/ Just realised how this may look, both me and Vercent are new posters with similar names. I promise you we're different people.

I'd love to know where all of the sexy Pattern fan arts are, please? I feel like my life is incomplete without them.
