    • Writing a new history
    • ''Building on a uniquely West African mythology, Tomi Adeyemi’s debut conjures up a vibrant, amazing fantasy world in which magic once thrived, a segment of the population is grievously oppressed, and a young woman becomes the leader she was meant to be. Bahni Turpin’s mastery of the accents expertly brings the wide array of characters to life, carrying you with the young rebel and her crew across the physical and emotional landscapes that make this listen so special.'' —Abby, Audible Editor

    • This trilogy is the first ever to win the Hugo Award for every book.
    • ''Let that sink in for a minute. N.K. Jemisin is the first person ever to win the Hugo Award for best novel three years in a row, and she did that with this series. There’s a reason why the sci-fi and fantasy world went gaga over this. It’s dark, and I had some serious doubts that I would psychologically be okay at the end while I was listening (it’s world-endingly grim), but man, is it epic.'' —Melissa, Audible Editor

    • A unique tale of human survival
    • ''Less skilled writers could have gotten lost in this cleverly high-concept vision of humanity after earth. And lesser narrators might not have brilliantly realized this vision—which includes sentient spiders, people—in audio. But luckily, we have Adrian Tchaikovsky and Mel Hudson at the helm here, resulting in an equally mind-bending and satisfying listen.'' —Sam, Audible Editor

As law and order cease to exist, a few survivors make their journey to wherever they can.'' —Nicole, Audible Editor

    • A sci-fi classic with a masterful full cast narration
    • ''This epic sci-fi listen was way outside of my usual comfort zone so I did not go in expecting to get so sucked in by the stories or deeply affected by the characters as I did. Dan Simmons is a literary force to be reckoned with and Hyperion is accessible for both devoted fans and newbies like me, with its incredible word-building and character-driven storylines. The impeccable full-cast narration is just the cherry on top of this adventure through time and space.'' —Catherine, Audible Editor

    • Shakes you to your bones
    • ''I approached Kindred about a year ago knowing it was a classic. I don’t usually do well with classics—I get impatient with old-fashioned language and plodding plots—but this wasn’t like that at all. I was thrown off my expectations from chapter one. This story is gripping and fast-paced and uncomfortable and every bit as genius as when it was first released forty years ago. Listening with Kim Staunton’s narration made it, if possible, even more hauntingly real. This one stays with you.'' —Melissa, Audible Editor

    • What expert dystopian fiction sounds like
    • ''We lost the genius Octavia Butler far too soon, as evidenced by the close-to-home and all too imaginable dystopian future imagined in the Earthseed duology. Lynn Thigpen’s performance is a work of pure art. As one Audible listener (Amber) put it: “Her voice is raw silk, and her pacing and inflections are perfection, adding layers of meaning to a single word of dialog.” Shivers.'' —Sam, Audible Editor

    • Mysterious alien biodome? Sign me up
    • ''From the moment I started listening, I knew there was something special about this near-future sci-fi novel. At times, I got an almost Philip K. Dickian vibe—somewhat weird and trippy, yet intelligent and complex—but drawing any kind of comparison just feels like a disservice to the author; Thompson’s voice is truly unique, and I can’t wait to see what else comes out of his vivid imagination.

    • Perfect if you want something weird
    • ''This is my one pick that I feel I need to stand up for, because if you check the title page you’ll see some mixed reviews. Annihilation is profound literary sci-fi that doesn’t fit any formula. So a lot of people looking for the same old story might not find it here, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t an amazing series. It will blur your sense of reality and make you question the alien nature of language itself.'' —Michael D., Audible Editor

    • This made me appreciate having super powers
    • ''Even with his debut novel, Sanderson knew what he was doing when it came to world-building. The concept is so fascinating: a city of leper-like people who are cursed with no power to heal from any injury. Unlike a lot of fantasy novels out there, this story is about overcoming adversity with a truly major handicap. It really made me appreciate the abilities I have as an able-bodied human. I mean, in a way, isn’t the ability to heal a really cool power that we all have?'' —Melissa, Audible Editor

    • The start of a mesmerizing series
    • ''Violence and secrecy allow for a startling and gripping start to Sabaa Tahir's debut novel An Ember in the Ashes. The high-stakes Romeo and Juliet narrative at the core of this series—told from the alternating perspectives of Laia, an orphan on the run, and Elias, a soldier—is heart-wrenching and captivating. Fiona Hardingham and Steve West deliver gorgeous performances—despite the tension of this world, I could listen to them all day (and on many days, I have).'' —Katie, Audible Editor

    • FWIW, I’m team Peeta Tatiana
    • ''Somebody give Tatiana Maslany all the awards. The youthful yet somber quality to her voice makes her a natural Katniss, breathing new life into Panem. I devoured Maslany’s new recordings this summer, but I have to admit there’s something very different about listening to The Hunger Games as a 31-year-old mom vs. listening to it as a teenager myself. I cried from the first chapter onward, but it’s just a testament to the compelling nature of Collins’s dystopian modern classic.'' —Katie, Audible Editor

Fill that Harry Potter-sized hole in your literary heart as Amanda Ronconi (who else, of course!) brings Harper’s whimsical boarding-school story to life.'' —Catherine, Audible Editor

    • A young woman’s romantic entanglements and duels in Riverside
    • ''The world of Riverside (inhabited by the Tremontaine clan and its affinity!) sprawls over three novels, a few short stories, and two centuries of high fantasy comedy of manners. This title is my sentimental favorite because of the protagonist and the performance. Author Ellen Kushner narrates most of the story, except for the special performance moments illuminated by a stellar cast and sound design. If you were ever young and sensitive in a strange, new city, this is the escape for you.'' —Christina, Audible Editor

    • A classic in full form with colorful narration
    • ''Watership Down is about a community of rabbits, but it’s far from kid-like. There are warring factions, oppression, and some terrifying moments in the woods. Recently re-recorded by Doctor Who actor Peter Capaldi, this edition is powerful and poignant. Capaldi has a storybook English accent that I found completely immersive, and he develops distinct voices for the many characters.'' —Melissa, Audible Editor

    • Can we talk about how this is narrated by Sir Ian McKellen?
    • ''SIR IAN MCKELLEN, people. And just for context, other works Sir McKellen has narrated include Shakespeare, Dickens, and Milton...I feel SO much more validated in how amaze-balls I thought this series was when I first discovered it, knowing now that he narrates it. Yes, it is middle grade. Yes, I discovered and fell in love with these books in college. And yes, I have listened to the series multiple times.'' —Melissa, Audible Editor
