Time for a top 5 list :-)
The Bobiverse audio books are awesome, not in small part because of the narrator.
They really are. For me they’re the books by which all others are measured.
I’m somewhat unsettled by book 4, heaven’s river. I think the interesting concepts of the premise have been more or less exhausted in the first 3 books. I suspect that anything coming after will be more or less “things happening in that universe” rather than investigating that universe.
I don’t begrudge an author continuing a series - it’s guaranteed success after all. But in the ideal sense it would’ve been nice if the first three books had have stood alone.
I totally agree with this. Bobiverse series is in my top 3. Book 4 was a bit of a let down for me as well.
I haven’t yet heard a Ray Porter narration I didn’t love.
The Expanse series (nine full novels and one collection of short stories) by James SA Corey, read by Jefferson Mays
The Stormlight Archive (currently 4 novels) by Brandon Sanderson, read by Michael Kramer and Kate Reading
The Great Cities (two novels) by NK Jemisin, read by Robin Miles
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, read by Ray Porter
Rivers of London Project Hail Mary Alex Verus
Don’t normally do much sci fi/fantasy but I’m trying to branch out of my mystery genre.
