After listening to a few clips of The Silmarillion narrated by Andy Serkis, I am interested in seeing if I could actually get used to listening to audiobooks. I usually can't focus enough on audio alone to keep up with a book but now I'm thinking it might be more of a narration quality thing than anything else.

What are your suggestions for other audiobooks with great or at least similar narration as this new version of The Silmarillion?

Jonathan Keeble is great. I loved his reading of the Saxon Stories series (The Last Kingdom). I'm currently listening to the Warhammer Gotrek & Felix series, which he brings his great range of voices to as well.

Bonus note: He voiced Maliketh in Elden Ring and Lord Rydell in the Demon's Souls remake.
