The Gabriela voice acting goes way beyond racist, and borderline unintelligible - no idea who okayed this.

The Gabriela acting is in fact so bad, I had to stop listening. I’ve gone through almost 200 audiobooks without once experiencing voice acting so abysmal it singlehandedly yanked me out of the story and ruined the book experience.

You made la Bruja sound like a Chinese guy doing a fucking SNL sketch trying to sound like a Mexican woman - how on earth would a woman who’s lived most of her life in the US, who went to USC (my m own school too btw), who’s got a masters degree, sound like a fucking exaggerated cartoon of a street taco vendor who crossed the rio grande yesterday? It isn’t just super distracting - it’s very offensive. I didn’t know you could make something so fucking racist without actually uttering any ethnic slurs - so I guess kudos for that. Thanks for ruining an otherwise really fun book for me.

Pros: cool story, provides a better, more satisfying conclusion than the previous entry in the series.

Cons: the performance is not good. Even when you leave aside the mind bogglingly horrendous Bruja parts, every non Carter character sounds cartoonish to me, probably Hank and Darius being the worst after her. Do yourself a favor and buy the version with the full cast.
