BS: Anyone else finding the narration distracting?

It becomes a lot better once Brair and Zeke are separate. Their characters fit the voice actors quite well and I fell into each chapter easily enough—but it is only my first audio book.
The only time I skipped a beat with it was near the end when some characters start to cross between the narrators. It just takes half a second to realize a new voice is really an old one, but it never took me out of the experience.
I thought it was great, myself. I liked the different flavors, since they were for a huge part of the book two stories. What I did not like at all was when Zeke was being read, near the end, by Kate Reading. I kept telling myself "pretend he had a turning point, and this is his 'I'm a man now' voice", but I just wanted Wil to come back. He really won me over with the Princess' voice :D
I'm really enjoying the narration. The flip startled me more than it ought to the first time. I do like that Kate Reading sometimes sounds a bit like Stockard Channing.




Is anyone else having this issue?
