Robotic, stilted and old (older than the character). What three words best describe Gilbert Jackson’s performance? It was enlightening as to Verus's decision making and attitudes - and just a little creepy. What was one of the most memorable moments of Fated? The characters are well developed and the relationships realistic. I would listen to Fated again, the story is engrossing and flows quickly. I would happily buy books with Jackson as a narrator again but you need to listen to a sample for yourself as some people were very unhappy. After I'd listened for a while I decided that I really liked Gilbert Jackson. Cons I spent the first twenty minutes in complete frustration because the initial plot feels like a massive rip off of the Dresden Files (it soon moves away from that, keep listening as the seer aspect is really interesting) and that also led to the comparison of the narrator with James Masters and really the best you can hope for is a draw with that kind of competition. Pros: great story, brilliantly written, lots of imagination, made me want to listen to the whole thing in one sitting, Patricia Briggs and Jim Butcher rec this one, I'd listen to it again and have requested the series which I'm told gets even better also, unusually for this kind of genre, there are several really well written female side characters. Hope Audible gets the rest of this series :)
