Ed Hermann was a perfect choice for this book. He pronounced all the German names and places better than I ever would have. He added a depth to the book that I wouldn't have gotten had I read it. As a native to the Pacific Northwest, though, he cannot pronounce Washington towns and rivers (Chehalis, Puyallup, Sequim, Columbia, Chinook, etc.) at all

This book was so freaking good.

Audio is great. It had me audibly reacting alone in my room. “WHAT?!” at the start of the Olympic race. Like, how was it THAT CRAZY??? “THAT’S THE END??!” when the narrator said “Epilogue.” Their bond 🥹
