Audible's new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago.

It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible's competitors out of the market.

It's actually 12 books, but the last two are prequels. They seem to have only remade the first 9 so far, and the last book already had a terrible narrator.

Wow, I have never heard of this series before. It looks like only the new versions are available to buy on Audible and Libro.fm for everything but the last book, which doesn't have a new version (yet). That's rather upsetting to hear that I can't get the originals anymore, at least not easily.

Fortunately if they ever straight up remove them I've still got copies I ripped directly from CDs from the library.
