I'm very excited about it, even though I don't like audiobooks but will still buy it :look:

I just love her voice

they will probably still have both versions available.

I am...not a fan of Kate Reading's voice, so this makes me so happy. :laugh:

I feel like I've said this a lot in the last couple of days but I agree with you, Maibella :giggle I've listened to WoT and most of the Cosmere read by Reading and Kramer, and while I don't think they're perfect I think they do an amazing job. I don't want them to "pushed" out of the WoT world in a way. I dunno. Not planning on buying all 14 books again at least.

I have been a fan of Pike since Pride & Prejudice so I am excited at the same time and want to hear it

Rosamund Pike is a great narrator (Jane Austen).

But I can't help but like having the male voice for male POV. I think Michael Kramer and Kate Reading did a fantastic job with the series.

Yeah, I like Kramer and Reading, but I can see the point that Readings voice can be a little nasal at times... I haven't heard Rosamund Pike's voice much, so I can't say how well she would do...

I think it'll definitely be a different style of narration, and might work better for some people. I love the Kramer/Readings audiobooks, though, so I don't think it'll be for me. I feel like they're a little cheesy at times, but I honestly kind of like that about them, because they capture the humor in the books well. I feel like Pike's narration would probably be a bit more serious.

I see it as a supplement rather than a replacement, at least partially because I doubt she's going to be recording all of them. And if she does, it'll take years.
