![]() Book 2 unexpectedly turns into fantasy as a mythical creature is introduced, which carries into book 3. This story is set in the 1700s as Monty, sister Felicity, and bff Percy have their vacation waylaid by hijinks with mad scientists and pirates. Comedic timing is so hard to get right, but Coulson really nails it. (Book 2 has a woman voice actor, Moira Quirk, who does a great job.) Books 1 and 1.5 are my particular favorite for Coulson as he narrates the gay main character who is sassy and witty. Montague Siblings by Mackenzi Lee, narrated by Christian Coulson (3 primary works, 1 novella)Ĭhristian Coulson narrates books 1, 1.5, and 3 of this series. Shenanigans occur when an alien substance is discovered for the first time and throws the solar system into chaos. It’s set in the future, when science has progressed to the point of colonizing the moon, Mars, and the asteroid belt. The series is a poster child for how awesome D&D can be, since it’s not only the books that are popular, but also the TV series. Corey is a pseudonym for two of the players that write the books. The Expanse is based on a D&D campaign, and James S.A. I think of him when I think of an established voice actor who knows how to do their job right. I haven’t had any difficulty following him, and his gravitas for such a dramatic series is just right. (Also go watch that!) He doesn’t necessarily perform with a chorus of voices so much as he conveys characters through tone and expression, which I appreciate since it’s so much more nuanced. Jefferson Mays provides solid narration in this sci-fi series that is also now a completed TV series on Amazon. ![]() Corey, narrated by Jefferson Mays (9 primary works, 9 novellas) Luckily, Atticus gets some righteous judgment at the end of the series for some of his poor behavior. *Content warning* Atticus can sometimes be sexist in his remarks and actions throughout the series. ![]() We meet gods from all pantheons and different versions of those gods. He gains an apprentice in book 2, Granuaile (gron-you-wail), who is a boss bitch all day long. He is aided by his sidekick Oberon, an Irish Wolfhound with magically extended long life. The series follows Atticus, last of the Druids, who does his best to help heal the earth while staying out of the way of mischievous gods of various origin. Add to the fact that this is simply a well-written and entertaining series regardless of narration, and you’ve got a hit. Later in the series, we get to meet a sloth character whose thoughts we can also hear, and my heart nearly exploded because she’s so adorable. One of the series’ main characters is a dog named Oberon, whose thoughts we get to hear, and Daniels’ voice for him is priceless. Daniels’ narration is just so ridiculously fun that I cannot accurately describe the delight of listening to him for 9 books. Luke Daniels is by far my number one favorite narrator. The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne, narrated by Luke Daniels (9 primary works, 13 novellas) All but three of them are sci-fi/fantasy/mythology, so you can guess what my favorite genres are. Below are fifteen audiobooks/audiobook series that have stuck in my mind long after finishing them, thanks to the narrators. Most narrators are obviously good at their job, but not all narrators are great at it. Audiobooks are a great way to get reading in while doing chores, on long car rides, or while doing mundane tasks at work.
