Neh... the voice is very jarring. I can see using the same voice as the audiobooks if they had sold a lot of copies and/or have some type of devoted following. But since neither hold true, they went with casting that tosses a bone to a very few while irritating everyone else. Really dumb move.

The voice just doesn't match Moiraine, it doesn't match the actresses face, and sounds entirely too American to come close to believable. RJ has described all these accents and tones...as a Cairheinin, wouldn't she have a somewhat French sort of accent if any at all?

Besides, after all the hype and the 'making of' video and ALL the talk, I expected more. The video was nice for what it was, but as it didn't even cover all the material available on the dust jacket, what are we supposed to be excited about?

Those issues, combined with the detail errors that have already been mentioned render this little better than a purely amateur contribution. Not at all what I expected with Tor behind it as an 'official' trailer.
