Thank you! I love this example. Also, I’ll need to find a UK version of Harry Potter as I’ve only heard the US so far

That makes a lot of sense. I am loving Porter in the Bobiverse and he was great in PHM.

It is so weird that you mention Pacey as I just got done re-listening to the First Law Trilogy. He is one of my favorite narrators.

I haven’t listened to that one yet, but it is on my TBR list.

I get what you mean, but this goes beyond the characters just having the same voice. Their inner thoughts and dialogue are so similar to one another it’s as if Weir was writing it. That led me to the question, do the authors just have similar writing styles or is Porter’s narration having an impact on the character’s personalities.
