    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 56,112 ratings
    • This is the best book I've listened to in ages.
    • "Beautifully written from start to finish, Madeline Miller's novel breathes new life into old mythology. Through Circe's eyes, we perceive the strange and callous cruelty of the gods (and of men), the fleeting lives of mortals, love, loss, and the strange and wondrous magnificence of the world. There are heroes and monsters, adventure and witchcraft. The book is breathtaking in it's scope yet immensely personal and moving as well. It's a truly impressive achievement and I can't recommend it highly enough. Perdita Weeks' narration is top notch." —Jim N., Audible Listener

    • Best Nora Roberts book I’ve read in a long time
    • "This book is well written. The story is engaging, exciting, and fun. There’s definitely romance involved, but it doesn’t overtake the entire book. I haven’t enjoyed a Nora Roberts book this much in quite a while. I can’t wait for the next one!" —Agnes, Audible Listener

    • Weird but wow!
    • "This is hands down the weirdest, goriest and most original book I've ever read. When you think you understand where the story is going, the author completely subverts your expectations over and over. Includes conversations with lions, homicidal maniacs in tutus, musings on the nature of God, nuclear war, and timeless love. Takes some time to get into but it's worth hanging in there for the ending!" —Christa E., Audible Listener

    • Maybe my favorite book this year
    • "A strong dose of sister love, a little bit of suffrage, fairy tales and nursery rhymes, a setting of historical fiction, some fierce momma love, and a whole lot of raw feminist power swept up in witching. I also loved the book for being inclusive and honoring POC and LGTBQ+ characters and their stories.The narrator, Gabra Zackman, was also absolutely fantastic and the atmospheric music and her varied voices made this extra spooky and wonderful. This might be my favorite book this year." —Jon S., Audible Listener

    • Outstanding
    • "Each character is fully developed to the point where we probably care about all of them including some of the bad ones. The world created by Brandon Sanderson and stunningly narrated by Michael Kramer is not like any one I or probably any of us could have possibly imagined. As long as this trilogy was, I am so sorry to have it finally end." —Robert, Audible Listener

    • A breath of fresh air
    • "It's also nice to see a book that doesn't drop F-bombs every five seconds. I can actually listen to this with my kids and we can all enjoy it. Definitely check it out if you liked Ready Player One, as it has a similar feel to it, but with more attention to detail and a greater emphasis on actual gaming. I'm looking forward to book 2 already!" —Eric, Audible Listener

    • everything you need to know
    • "This is not anything like LotR. This is bigger in every respect. The world is bigger, the characters are deeper and thjere are many, many, more of them. If you take on this series you need to be ready to focus. If you listen half heartedly you will be lost very quickly. Personally this and the Sword of Truth are my favorites. " —Kyle, Audible Listener

    • By: Neil Gaiman
    • Narrated by: Neil Gaiman
    • Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins
    • Release date: 02-07-17
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 69,890 ratings
    • As good as it gets without the old texts
    • "As someone who has read direct translations of the original codex I'm pleased to report Gaiman stays true to the best records we have while updating the telling to be compatible with modern English—the old language can be very difficult to follow when translated literally. You'll thank Gaiman for bringing the language up to contemporary standards for you. If you are interested for either educational purposes (i.e what are the real myths, not the pop culture versions of Thor, Odin or Loki) or for the love of some good stories you won't be disappointed." —William T., Audible Listener

    • Series: American Gods, Book 1

    • Release date: 06-21-11
    • Language: English
    • 4.5 out of 5 stars 62,769 ratings
    • Stellar Full Cast Production
    • "The main narrator is easy to listen to and warm to the tale—I felt the narrator was telling me a story of his experience rather than a recitation of another's work. And of Neil Gaiman's own short passages, sprinkled throughout: an excellent lift from the main story, giving each break an ethereal yet distinctive separation from the main story." —Timothy, Audible Listener

    • The beginning of a beautiful friendship.
    • "The world created by the author is very vivid and I can imagine it with great detail. This can sometimes be the fall of a fantasy book, but I believe the author expertly pulled this off in his dark elf series. I have also read a few of the other trilogies written by RA Salvatore and I recommend this author to all those who love a good solid fantasy book." —Teresa, Audible Listener
