Have you ever stopped listening to an audiobook because the tone of the narrator was so annoying? (sh.itjust.works)

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.
