The two best voices in the audiobook world. The amount of tears I have shed to so many books, only to cry twice as hard when listening to these two peform. Absolute gems.

michael kramer has put more tears in my eyes than any other person in the world

Michael Kramer and Kate Reading are the voices of WoT to me. I love the show, but their reading is S tier.

Wow!! Kate’s reading of Moiraine’s speech reduced me to tears. Wish I could’ve been there to see it live but thank you so much Rob for sharing it!

[@hiltrud2001]

Thanks for posting this!

Fabulously done - thank you Kate & Michael. Yeah, there's humour at the start, but there's also a really unpleasant undertone to the situation initially, so when Moiraine cuts in and takes over - "Is this what Aemon’s blood has come to?” - oh my days. Amazon take note - THIS is WoT. This is what it feels like and THIS is why it's powerful. Despite the scale of the battle, the story is plainly told almost to the point of understatement and consequently has infinitely more dramatic weight than all of the (actually fairly lack-lustre) CGI you can muster. "And her voice held the sound of cold tears". Ouch.

[@Jonny2myren]

So strange to actually see them read this. Fantastic reading by both of them .

[@eirikbruun2156]

Not random, but for a purpose to calm the crowd and with conviction. So much better than the TV show version...

[@mndrew1]

You bastard. How dare you. I had things to do tonight; it's going to take hours to recover from this.

This is amazing. My wife and I love these narrators. She especially has been listening to them constantly now for the past 3 years! I missed WoTCon 2022, but my wife and I plan to go this year. Is this happening again (I assume a different iconic scene from the series if so)? If so, do I need to buy the VIP package to experience it?
