ah. well i haven’t heard rosamund’s narration, but the previous recordings by michael kramer and kate redding did not have either the stereotypical british accent nor did they stretch to give the seanchan a southerndrawl. you might find that less jarring if you can get past the first few books where they seem to never pre-read and, so, frequently misstep in meter or emphasis and sometimes just mispronounce names and places altogether.

an example of stumbling over meter or emphasis:
*i* did not take the money
i did *not* take the money
i did not *take* the money
i did not take the *money*
the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you’re not introduced to them until book2 and they’re not uniformly darkfriends.
Sorry, my ADHD memory lol. I’m currently at book 3 and knew for sure that it was one of the previous ones 😁
