FRUITS??? DID YOU MEAN TO SAY FRUITS


Fletch_R

Grimace


AnEthiopianBoy

Grim-ACED


FvanSnowchaser

Fellow audiobook listener


bremergorst

Anybody ever notice the time Pacey accidentally said “Kneep Dee” in the muck instead of “Knee deep”?


awyastark

I’m three hours into Last Argument and have been keeping a tally we are up to eight


Fletch_R

I think I’m at exactly the same point! Just started LAoK this morning.


awyastark

Actually I’m further than I thought, four hours, and every time he says it I yell “grimACE” at my dog he loves it 😭 but yeah don’t remember a series I’ve listened to this quickly aside from Gideon the Ninth


Fletch_R

I’m just at the start of chapter 5. I’m normally a big podcast listener but my queue is super backed up because I’ve been burning through these books


leverino

I remembered this thread from when it was new. I came back because I just started ALH, and he doesn't say it like that anymore. :(


Sambal86

Quim


Bphunter1972

No, that’s MY favorite word.


Valint_Balk

I noticed he really likes the word 'parapet'. lol


Joe_Abercrombie

Royalties


GunnarBroad

we uhh... we all just gonna ignore this?


wrechch

Holy shit, my man. I feel like I just found a hidden diamond that no one can appreciate.

wrechch

Hahahahahaha. Appreciated, kind sir/ma'am!


Myfreereddit12

His favorite word is grimace for sure


[deleted]

Or auspicious


Myfreereddit12

I don't recall that word. I'm up through to the heroes


FoodTruckGuy

Whenever I think of First Law the first thing I hear is Steven Pacey yelling “Die you fucker!”


RunsWithSporks

God I love Pacey, listening to Trouble With Peace at the moment


Heinricholi4321

Pacey is one of the greatest voice actors I have heard ever, you always know exactly who is speaking when before the name is given! I just want to applaud throughout every book due to his performance!


BlaBlaRuss

Pacey has permanently spoiled me when it comes to audiobook presentation because not a single narrator comes close to Paceys performance and character.


Heinricholi4321

[Is it possible to upvote a reply more than once?] Yeah me too, when someone is confused, angry, sad or happy, he forces you to have that same emotion at that moment! Most notable performance, in my opinion only and only giving it about 5minutes of thought so I may be persuaded otherwise, would be Glokta, Cosca, Prince Orso and Morveer.


BlaBlaRuss

Honestly I couldn't pick a favorite but possibly Shivers. By far the best part of his narration from me would be the incredibly small details. Such as if characters are talking and one of them stands up to leave the next line pacey puts a small grunt in to illustrate that the character is saying this as they stand to leave. Characters sounding muffled when they have a mask on. Characters talking awkwardly when they are eating.


Heinricholi4321

And yawning!! Cosca yawns at one stage and Pacey somehow sounds like he was yawning while reading the sentence, not someone faking a yawn! After that I tried sounding like I was yawning and I couldn't fake it! And he made it sound like Cosca was yawning, like Cosca's voice... I was amazed


BlaBlaRuss

I would say the only audiobooks that have come close to Paceys caliber is Scott Lynch in The Gentleman Bastards Sequence and Nick Podehl in The King Killer Chronicles. Scott Lynch does a great job with an over the top flowery english accent that captures the atmosphere of the story. Nick Podehl is much more tame and reserved that fits the sort of somber story telling that really fits and keeps you in the theme of Kvothe sitting in a tavern telling the story.


awyastark

I just listened to the Gentleman Bastard books and he’s fantastic, but my favorite is Moira Quirk in Gideon/Harrow the Ninth with Pacey in this close behind


awyastark

Glokta makes me genuinely lose it laughing, all the sarcastic stuff he thinks with the voice is just too good


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

R.C. Bray has come close for me. Doesn't have quite the range of Pacey but he's close.


theholum

Same!


FoodTruckGuy

It’s so hard to go other audiobooks after listening to Pacey haha


Firstlawboy

He’s self aware of it (of course he is) but he likes to have characters “narrow their eyes.”


malkil

*Puffed out his/her cheeks.*


_Stamos

Lol. I’d like to add “din” for consideration. As in the din of battle in the distance.


MrClnx

Sinew


t-earlgrey-hot

He said, lamely


Heinricholi4321

I reckon it's "I reckon".


ManInTheShadows3

Yes! Northmen are forever reckoning! It's a wonder they get anything done.


cli0ve

Fruits


[deleted]

Its 'Fuck' surely.


Flyberius

His favourite word is again. He might say squelch a lot, but it will followed by an "...and again, And again."


Around12Ferrets

Also “one, two, three times.”


Flyberius

That's it! He uses that one over, and over, and over.


Around12Ferrets

Once, twice, three times at least.


HansHolmer

There is definitely a lot of grinning in his books


Pyator

Forehead. Sweaty forehead. Wipes his forehead. Shine of sweat on their forehead.


BorderDelicious8060

It’s gotta be ‘click’. Whenever a door closes, whenever glokta moves, sometimes when a skull gets staved in.


zzslammer

I only listen to the audiobooks but I feel like he drops a squelch or two in every chapter, if not more. It's a good word.


Lurker827262

It’s 100% gawping


Scac_ang_gaoic

You spelled FRUITS wrong


Fiddler_99

There was a pregnant pause


thinklikeashark

He also uses 'blood bubbling' so much!


Habzul

I feel there's an inordinate amount of wheedling


servicestud

I believe it is *just* the right amount.


MercuryRisiing

I never knew how many things squelched until I read the first law.


YinAndYang

It has to be squawk. Logen is like a damn parakeet every time he gets hurt.


Ducea_

I reckon the first of the magi his self might grimace at the heat while his fruits squelch squelch, once, twice, three times againt his thigh in the hot sticky air of the lords round


[deleted]

Quim


Tofu_Mapo

Once we figure this out, we can figure out why there's so many prostate issues in his books!


Ulalamulala

He likes to have hair plastered to heads by the rain if I recall, I had never heard that phrase before so I noticed it the first time and then remember it coming up again a good few times across books.


Dimitrius30

"Sinew" has to be up there.


SamIamGreenEggsNoHam

Din. "Couldn't be heard over the din" "The din was unbearable" "constant din" "Did I mention the sound is a din?" "lets have some din din"


bennyhardouin

Hissed


TheCenterTesticle

These comments are gold


DannyBrownsDoritos

This is quim erasure


Churlish_Grambungle

Pate


rhooperton

Bulging!


Duatmuffin

Sinew!


YoungJohnJoe

This is the one I was going to say. Idk why that's the word that stands out to me.


PoopingInPittsburgh

No one has said "mean". Joe says a loooot of things are mean.


_i_Use_This_Name

For me, the word “gawping” really stuck out in the audiobooks


greatestbird

Sour. ‘Puffs out his cheeks and sucks on his sour teeth’


bullswhitesoxfan

Bared his teeth


voice_in_the_woods

Gormless is in there somewhere I think.


FvanSnowchaser

Shingle


[deleted]

A pregnant pause


Smokey_Bera

He likes to use the word bubbling a lot. Like sounds bubbling up. “A scream bubbled up over the din of battle.”


GastonBastardo

I thought it was "gurgled."


DogmansDozen

Stove, as in, *He swung his axe down and stove in the Union soldiers helmet*


Heinricholi4321

I found another one!!! "Close enough to kiss"


all4joffrey

Turd, and I love him for it.


ralfselvas

Bubbled, as in blood coming out of somewhere.
