Realm of the Elderlings audiobooks in order
One of the longest single narratives in fantasy and one of the few that genuinely rewards the commitment. It is not one voice on the UK store: Joe Eyre reads the Farseer trilogy, Lucy Tregear the Liveship Traders and Nick Taylor the Tawny Man; the Rain Wild Chronicles are split between Saskia Butler, Jacqui Crago and Avita Jay, and the Fitz and the Fool trilogy between Lee Maxwell-Simpson, Avita Jay and David Thorpe.

Which order should you listen in?
Four trilogies and a quartet in one world, and publication order is strongly recommended — the Fitz books and the Liveship books converge, and reading the Tawny Man before Liveship Traders spoils a great deal. About 440 hours; treat it as a project.
