Hey everyone,
I’m looking for audiobook recommendations based on the following books I’ve really enjoyed. Not just in terms of story but also narration—I’ve found that a great book can be ruined for me if I don’t like the narrator’s voice or cadence.
(For example, Dungeon Crawler Carl is a book I’ll likely read instead of listening to because I noped out of the audiobook pretty fast.)
One preference I should mention—I generally don’t enjoy strong American accents (no offense to my American friends!). The main exception to this is Brandon Sanderson’s books—I initially struggled with Michael Kramer’s accent but got used to it because the stories were so good.
My Favorite Audiobooks:
Favorite Fantasy Series: The First Law by Joe Abercrombie – Narrated by Steven Pacey
Favorite Sci-Fi Series: Red Rising by Pierce Brown – Narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds
Runner-ups (in no particular order):
The Burning series by Evan Winter – Prentice Onayemi
Ash and Sand series by Richard Nell – Ralph Lister
Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence – Joe Jameson
The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss – Rupert Degas
The Greatcoats by Sebastien de Castell – Joe Jameson
Audiobooks I Enjoyed but Wouldn’t Call Favorites:
The Will of the Many by James Islington – Euan Morton (This could become a favorite depending on how the series develops—I liked most of it and really enjoyed the ending.)
The Gentleman Bastard series by Scott Lynch – Michael Page
War for the Rose Throne series by Peter McLean – David Morley Hale
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang – Emily Woo Zeller
The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski – Peter Kenny
If you’ve read through this list and something comes to mind that I might enjoy, please drop a recommendation! And if you're looking for good audiobooks, I highly recommend checking these out.
Thanks in advance!
