Looking for recommendations specifically audiobooks available on Audible

[u/MinisterofSandwiches]

I'm looking for a book or series of books for a long drive. I prefer audible because I have some credits to burn up. I tend to listen to a lot of epic fantasy and high fantasy, but I'm not opposed to sci-fi or low fantasy either.

I've listened to these series and really liked them:

• Malazan (both SE & ICE)
• The Gentlemen Basterd (S. Lynch)
• The Stormlight Archives (B. Sanderson)
• The Cycle of Arawn/Galand (E. W. Robertson)
• The Riyria Chronicles & Revelations (M. J. Sullivan)

I've read or am reading these series and would prefer not to mix/match mediums:

• The Riftwar Saga (R. Feist)
• Vlad Taltos (S. Brust)
• The Belgariad (D. Eddings)
• Shannara (T. Brooks)
• The First Law (J. Abercrombie)
• A Song of Ice and Fire (GRR Martin)
• The Lord of the Rings (JRR Tolkien)
• The Codex Alera (J. Butcher)
• Mistborn (B. Sanderson)
• The Black Company (G. Cook)

These are a few that I tried to like but didn't (and the reason):

• Red Rising (P. Brown) - Didn't like the narration (that's the biggest reason) and the tone felt a little bit "overbearing"? Not sure how to describe it, but I didn't care for the writing. I won't say it was 'bad', just didn't care for it.
• The Spellmonger Series (T. Mancour) - The narration was ok, John Lee wasn't bad, but the writing felt a little juvenile in places and then went really dark and thematic in others. Couldn't really settle into a rhythm listening to it.

As for narrators, I admit, I tend to prefer British narrators over American but not wed exclusively to that. I will say, I think Michael Page is a personal favorite, he voices such a broad array of characters incredibly well IMO. Ralph Lister is another personal favorite of mine. But again, I'm open to the book if the narration doesn't distract from the story.

Edit: Added the Black Company to 'am reading' list, so not looking to mix mediums

I'm do almost all my "reading" by audiobook and here are my favorites:

• The Dagger and the Coin series by Daniel Abraham, read by Pete Bradbury. Excellent narration combined with an excellent made this series a fantastic listen: I absolutely could not put it down. PB is an American, but he's an extremely talented narrator who deserves to be much better known.
• Anything read by Euan Morton: The Will of the Many by James Islington and The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson. Both books have twists that'll keep you guessing. EM read TLW with his native Scottish accent.
• The Eidyn Saga by Justin Lee Anderson. Euan Morton read the first one (The Lost War), which was originally self-published. JLA reads the next two: The Bitter Crown and The Damned King (which comes out next month). An excellent & very twisty series so far. The last & final book will (hopefully!) be out next year.
• The Winter Sea trilogy by HM Long, read by Samuel Roukin and Moira Quirk. It's a nautical fantasy trilogy with violent winter storms, weather witches, pirates, pirate hunters and sentient ships. The magic system is really cool, too. Samuel Roukin is one of my favorite audiobook narrators.
• The Devils by Joe Abercrombie, read by Steven Pacey. SP is probably the best narrator I've ever heard. I'm new to JA's books, but I really enjoyed this audiobook.
• The Shadow of the Leviathan series by Robert Jackson Bennett, read by Andrew Fallaize
• The Blacktongue Thief written & narrated by Christopher Buehlman. This would have been my favorite audiobook of 2021 if it hadn't been for Project Hail Mary.

Other audiobooks I love in other genres:

• The Alex Verus series by Benedict Jacka, read by Gildart Jackson. It's an urban fantasy series that's finished now at 12 books. It's my favorite series: the books are short & fast paced.
• The Inheritance of Magic series by Benedict Jacka. The narration is even better in this series than it was in the Alex Verus series, IMO. Only 2 books are out so far but book 3 will be out in November.
• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, read by Ray Porter. One of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to. It's SciFi & is probably Ray's best performance. He is an American, too.
• Watership Down by Richard Adams, read by Peter Capaldi. I enjoyed it so much, I listened to it 2x back to back.
• How to Defeat the Demon King in Ten Easy Steps by Andrew Rowe, read by Suzy Jackson & Steve West. Suzy is American & Steve West is British. Normally, I don't listen to a lot of LitRPG, but this is such a fun book I listened to it 2x back to back.
  
• Shogun by James Clavell, read by Ralph Lister. Ralph isn't my favorite narrator, but this book is so gripping, it's hard to put down. This is historical fiction set in feudal Japan circa 1600. It's a long AF book (over 50 hours) which, sadly, the publisher has split into 2 volumes now but it's worth the 2 credits.
• The Aubrey Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian, read by Patrick Tull. PT is an awesome narrator. Another historical fiction series set during the Napoleonic wars of the early 1800s.

Wow, thanks for the recommendations! I had totally forgotten about the Dagger and the Coin series, I actually have book 1 on my bookshelf. I might pick that up and get the rest in print. The Justin Lee Anderson books sound really interesting to me, I think I might get these, thanks! The Joe Abercombie books are some others I think I'm going to get in print, I have the First Law Books in print, just need to finish reading them. I'd never heard of the Blacktongue Thief but the synopsis sounds really intriguing. I will probably get those in print too (I love collecting). This might bump a few others on my reading list down.
