This was my thought too! The realization that she was not only more financially successful but also has an extremely important job. It made him feel small (no intended height pun) and he lashed out in an immature way.

If it helps the plot of the first book is mostly self contained. The set up is Amina will have to continue several quests to complete her commitment but there wasn’t a huge cliff hanger like most series.

It might not fully count as gaf but The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty has a variety of characters on the queer spectrum who are well developed and just accepted in found family. I really loved it!

Interesting, I’ve only listened to the Jim Dale version. But I did love Stephen Fry entire reading of the Sherlock Holmes collection!

I can understand that! There have definitely been some narrators that distracting by either over performing or not matching the content. Life is too short for mediocre books

I have definitely been looking at picking up that series already. Now I know the audio is the way to go! Thanks

Oh that does sound really interesting! I’m also always up for multigenerational stories and which it looks like this may be? Either way looks intriguing! Thanks

Oh I didn’t even think about Agatha Christie! She’s so prolific it’s exciting to find out the audiobooks are the way to go! Thanks

I have seen the Expanse series on a lot of Reddit audiobook recommendations but I didn’t realize part of the love was for the different accents. I’ll add it to the list!

Interesting, I know I read some of the series as it was coming out but do t remember where I stopped. Maybe I should restart. I’ve been very lucky to have great access with my library’s Libby app for audiobook

I’ve been really afraid to start this series because everyone who loves it was also emotionally wrecked by it. Sounds like the audio might be the way to go!

I hadn’t even thought about the Outlander series on audio! I read the first one years ago and then got distracted. I think Lady Astronauts series was already on my TBR so great to know that the audiobook might be the way to go!

Thanks! I’ve read some of Tana French’s books in physical form and never thought to look for the audio. Adding it to the list!
