Fantasy Audiobook Recommendation
Posted on 9/14/23 at 9:08 am

Any suggestions? I've listened to the Stormlight Archive and I'm currently starting on the physical Mistborn books.. Also working through the physical Wheel of Time books.

From Sanderson, Warbreaker is also pretty good and relevant to Stormlight.
I loved the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. Technically sci Fi but reads more like a fantasy series. I went through all 6 available audio books in maybe 2 weeks
Recently listened to "The Will of the Many" and thought it was pretty good. Book 2 comes out next year

It's unfinished but The Kingkiller Chronicles audiobooks are very good quality.

Definitely the Dresden Files. Might be the best audio series out there. Just a heads up, the first couple of books are kinda rough (but entertaining), but they find their groove and the series is a blast. James Marsters ftw.
Wheel of Time is great, especially if you have been on a Sanderson kick. Also, Joe Abercrombie's books with Stephen Pacey's narration is just sublime.

Meh. The books are great, and Marsters does a serviceable job of reading them, but there are some superior readers out there. I actually think it took him a few books before he found his groove. I do agree with the suggestion otherwise. And the series really takes off with Summer Knight.

I've read the first one and really enjoyed it.. just haven't gotten into the others ones yet.. I'll have to move it back up to the top of my list.

Ryiria Chronicles starting with Theft of Swords and ends with Heir of Novron. Great great story and ending and Tim Gerard Reynolds in one of my favorites narrators. He does the Red Rising series that another poster mentioned as well.
Gentlemen Bastards - Locke Lamora. Amazing books and narrator Michael Page is awesome.
Look up books by narrator Simon Vance too.
Lastly, The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie. Stephen Pacey narrating is awesome
That should get you through like 300 hours or so to start

I'll second this suggestion. I loved the audiobooks of this series.
Anything narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading is a must for me. Hands down the best narrators in this genre in my opinion.
They did all of Wheel of Time and most of Sanderson's Cosmere work

I usually listen at 2x or 2.25x , it was extremely hard to adjust to Red Rising with his Irish accent reds for the first few chapters

The first few chapters of Red Rising are from the POV of red Darrow which has a heavy Irish accent.
I listen at 2.25x speed typically and that Irish accent was super hard to adjust to

Oh, I was agreeing with you for sure. Re-read my post in an Irish accent to drive home the joke

All good, brother. Always good to have a fellow fan have the same issue(s) I had

I've got 2 hours left on the 2nd book of red rising series. I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't like this series. I just can't get into them and both have been a slog. I keep jumping out of it to listen to another book.
I like Simon Vance as a narrator and love his reading of Guy Gavrial Kay's books. I love his prose and Simon Vance really makes them shine.
Mostly historical fantasy subjects well written and entertaining.
