Any word on when the new audiobook drops in the UK and the US?

Looks like the audiobook is out on Audible UK, but not anywhere else yet. Interested to see reviews of it. It looks like this one has multiple narrators, so there's a separate actress for Susan's segments.

They did this before with Thief of Time, probably not by the same company, which worked okay in some places and badly in others (in particular, the actress for the Susan segments in that book had a very weak voice for the male characters, although they dubbed in Death's heavy bass for his lines, just not for anybody else).

I will say that at this point in my life my reaction to Susan is "girl, you need to get over how being so loving special is a tragic handicap."

I could easily imagine a version of Discworld where Mort and Susan don't die; Susan just isn't on great terms with them.

It might be an improvement. You'd lose most of Soul Music, but it's the least of the Death books, so.

The Land of Mist is at least interesting as Professor Challenger, previously best-known for being in The Lost World winds up becoming a devoted Spiritualist (Doyle wound up getting really involved in this in later life).
