The Radiant Emperor audiobooks: a (subjective) comparison
So, because I need to absorb these books through every means possible, I've also listened to the audiobooks in the languages I'm fluent in (Polish, English, French), even though generally I don't listen to audiobooks at all.
Here are my impressions, categorized. I made a separate category for Ouyang's voice not only because he is my fave, but because his voice is described the most specifically of all in the novel and I was really curious to hear the narrators' interpretations of him.
English (narrated by Natalie Naudus)
narration tone: the most captivating narration of the three imo: very vivid, the narrator changes tone frequently and does it well :)
characters' voices: I loved Zhu the most, spot on impression imo. Other characters' voices are top notch, really differentiated and convey a lot of emotion.
Ouyang's voice: very good job with making him sound angry - I usually imagine him speaking in a more "cold, but collected" manner, but the impression of him almost screaming at his officers was great, 10/10, lives in my mind rent free now (along with the stellar delivery of ''why does this untalented bitch play so loudly'')
other remarks: The narrator pronounces the names in accordance with Chinese pronounciation (I guess?), which is very very cool and gives a more authentic vibe. ("Yesen" did throw me out of immersion every time, but that's a me issue.)
overall: most fun audiobook of the three imo
Polish (narrated by Maciej Kowalik)
narration tone: the narrator has a very irritating cadence - "readingonehalfofthesentenceveryfast.....pause.... and then the other half normally", which was probably supposed to build tension, but made the audiobook rather unbearable.
characters' voices: top notch impression of drunk Esen, 10/10. okay in general, though I couldn't bear Ma.
Ouyang's voice: This is the only one of these three audiobooks narrated by a man and it was interesting to hear his interpretation of Ouyang; while not really on the "no voice mutation" side, of course, this version really made the point to make him sound lighter than every other guy but still masculine. very very cool, no notes
other remarks: The audiobook is broken into smaller parts than the book chapters; it's more like one-two scenes from the book per audiobook chapter, and while I think it's an interesting move, I'm not sure if it helps with navigation
overall: it's okay, it's in my language, so that's it I guess. The Ouyang impression is one of its few redeeming qualities.
French (narrated by Sabine Napierala)
narration tone: the most pleasing of the three imo; sometimes the narrator could have used a bit more variation in the tone, though, bc at times I found myself carried away by the sound of her voice and my mind drifting.
characters' voices: GREAT impression of Baoxiang, the best here, no contest; you can really hear the performance Ouyang talks about in SWBTS. This was what I didn't know I needed. Also great Ma and pretty nice impression of Esen. And voices for every character are so different!
Ouyang's voice: here the narrator really nailed the impression that Ma has in HWDTW: raspy yet with something feminine in it. (Maybe it's just the French language is very well suited to that particular kind of voice.) Different from the Polish version, yet still fitting perfectly.
on that note: Ouyang adressing Esen with 2nd person plural (vous) all the time while Esen adresses him with 2nd person singular (tu)... very important to me. the French really went for highlighting the power imbalance between them and I am unwell. (It's a pity, though, that in the '"Come to Bianliang with me" scene the translator didn't make Ouyang use "tu" for maximum shock effect.)
other remarks: There is a musical jingle before every chapter! Fancy :) On the flip side, there isn't a French audiobook for HWDTW yet :( I hope they make it soon bc I can't wait for all the Baoxiang parts honestly
overall: the most relaxing of the three imo (which can be both a blessing and a curse). Definitely my fave but I'm biased on account of going through my ''I miss speaking French on a daily basis'' hours.

I just finished The Radiant Emperor Duology by Shelley Parker-Chan and I have some thoughts.
First, Zhu is a sneaky little rat-fuck who should never be trusted and I love her.
Second, if I had a nickel for every book I've read this month about an orphaned Chinese girl who commits war crimes, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Third. I was listening to the audiobook and when the fisting scene started I nearly slammed into a cop. Well done.
Fourth, Ouyang, I get why you are this fucked up, but chill. This goes double for you Baoxiang.
Finally. There was way more plot relevant smut in the second book than I was prepared for from a historical war fantasy. This is not a criticism.
All in all this series was very gender. 8/10

Hey, I see you talk about the radiant emperor a lot and I want to get the books at the library soon, but I have no idea how to pronounce character names. Do you know of any helpful resource for this?
Anon PLEASE tell me if you get the books and what you think!! And then I have SO MUCH art I can direct you to.
In terms of pronunciation, I just Google to be honest. The book does provide ethnicities if you want to get really specific, or there's like general "how to pronounce Chinese names" kind of guides that you can follow. You might be able to find a sample of an audiobook version too that will give you a general sense.
Let me know if that helps anon, and if anyone has any other thoughts feel free to shout them out!

Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older--a wish she believed was granted. Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can't help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers. The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.
