I enjoy playing pathfinder and I recently got into audiobooks because I need something to keep me mentally engaged on my 3-4 hour drives to and from college every day. I like fantasy so I looked up if audible had anything of note and this audiobook popped up. I had seen the hard copies of the Pathfinder Tales in the local shops in my area, but I always dismissed them since I have very little time to read since I'm always on the go between college and working full time. Right now I'm on chapter 10 of 24, roughly 5 hours into listening and here's my take on the quality so far. First the reader's voice is soothing and engaging and his ability to express emotion, gender, and color the audio with his sound makes for an enjoyable listen when it is meant to be enjoyed and scary when meant to be scary. I highly recommend Paizo utilize his distinct talents in future readings if that is something possible for them to request. Second, the story is enjoyable and interesting. I won't give away spoilers, but I very much like the characters of Salim Ghadafar and Neila Anvanory. I am not certain if they even remotely become an item, but they are such interesting characters and I very much ship SalimxNeila. Also the story gives a new light to one of the main pathfinder gods, Pharasma, and as someone who loves stuff involving the intimate nature of seeing how a world functions this is very fun for me. I recommend snagging the audiobook soon if you can get it free, but also I would buy this even if it wasn't. It's been a fun listen and I have so far purchased two more pathfinder tales audiobooks to listen to once I am done devouring this one.
