I definitely noped out of a sci-fi audiobook (can’t recall the title) a few minutes into one. And I hated the one Expanse book that was narrated by Erik Davis - it was like listening to a robot.

    I’ve been very tempted, but I end up enduring until I become numb to it lol. The hardest is when a narrator changes between books in a series.

      I agree that most of the time, changing narrators mid-series is jarring.

      There was one book I listened to (a long one) where the narrators changed for each of the 4 5 major sections, and it really worked. That was a Roberto Bolaño book titled 2666. Epic, and very dark.

      Have you listened to Wheel of Time, narrated by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading? They are both amazing and I really enjoy their narrations. But they both pronounce names and places differently from each other chapter to chapter and even differ from themselves book to book.
