I just finished the audio version of the First Law trilogy and loved it. My local library doesn't have any of the standalones on audio format so I picked up the print versions and am about to start. Would I be missing anything if I listened to the Age of Madness trilogy on audio? I drive a lot and A Little Hatred just became available on audio.

I've read and listened to The Age of Madness. Stephen Pacey reads for the AoM trilogy as well so the audio book is great. It's harder for me to pay attention with an audio book while driving so I enjoyed reading it better, but if you don't have a problem with that, I wouldn't say you'd be missing out on anything. I just prefer reading over listening in general though.
If you have Spotify premium it now has 15 hours of free audio books every month now and the Age of Madness trilogy is included for free on there. Tons of free audio books on Spotify and they are the same as the audible versions, not some bootleg narrator versions.
Great trilogy overall though. I'm on my re-read right of it right now. The standalones are great too. I personally LOVED Best Served Cold and Red Country. The Heroes wasn't the best to me but plenty of people view it as their favorite standalone.
Abercrombie has passed up GRRM as the best modern fantasy writer to me. My hatred for GRRM as a person has a little t do with that but man Abercrombie is an amazing writer.
