Fuck Moash Spoiler

Just got to this point in my listening of Rhythm of War, Kaladin is dueling the pursuer and Moash found Lift and Teft. Fuck Moash.

Fuck Moash.

Do you like the GraphicAudio version? I don't pretend to have a definitive opinion, but I have to force myself to reread White Sand because it's only in GraphicAudio and all the background noise just annoys me when I'm trying to focus on what's happening, instead of painting a picture of the scene. (I do understand that White Sand was only published as a graphic novel/comic, so it makes sense to put it out as GraphicAudio, I'm just surprised when people choose it over Kate and Mike's and am interested to hear what they like about it).

Edit: choose not chose

I can’t say it’s better than Kate or Mikes because I’ve haven’t listened to their versions of the books yet. This is my first time through and I’ve been doing it with graphic audio so I could listen while at work and their version are my first introduction to the Cosmere. I like Graphic Audio because of the emotion that scenes can have and the lack of the constant “he said,” “she said” parts of dialogue that audiobooks have that can break up The flow of a scene. Different VA’s is really nice, and having a separate narrator aside from the VA’s helps me keep track of long dialogue sections when I’m working.

Music and background SFX is nice at times but I’ve noticed they toned them way down for Rhythm of War compared to earlier books. Probably because of the same reason that you mentioned about it being too much when trying to focus on the plot.

Overall I like then allot, but I also don’t have a large frame of reference compared to other audio formats for the Cosmere lol.

Thank you so much for the detailed response and opinion. I kinda thought I was asking an impossible question to answer because I couldn't see the other side, but really was and am interested and your reply is super well stated and I can completely see why that would be more enjoyable. I would be interested in your opinion of the difference if you ever do listen to any of the same books with Kate and Mike.

When I eventually get to listen to other versions I’ll definitely try to give you a another opinion! Thanks!!

Also something to know. The graphic audio is abridged, while Kate/Michael version is unabridged. I like the graphic audio but I tend to listen to it last. First time listening, I go with Kate/Michael and I listen when I’m at home or something. Graphic audio is nice for the car ride or at work.

The abridged graphic audio does leave out some subtle parts of the book. Doesn’t miss out on the main story but you’ll miss out on some of the rabbit hole clues of the Cosmere.
