oh, did you decide to reread the RofE?

I didn't. I wasn't that crazy about those, so I just decided to read this trilogy and the next. The third trilogy I didn't like, either, so I'm skipping it as well. I was being very picky and choosy 🙃

I DNFed series in 2020(/21?) right in the middle but last year decided to finish Fitz&Fool on Audio and continued with Rainwilds. Still 6 books more to go on Audio, will get back to it after I finish Drumindor.

Both Sullivan's and Hobb's gigantic series I'm very Meh on so I continue them on Audio

I've heard good things about the audio editions for both from other readers, so hopefully they'll be enjoyable for you!

yes, the audiobooks for second Fitz Trilogy are great (and I think same person does the third Fitz trilogy?). The first Fitz Trilogy ABs were terrible (in my opinion), but I hear the entire series is getting re-recorded.
Weirdly, people hate Anne Flosnik's Liveship Traders but she saved me from a reading slump when I was finishing Liveships, and I find her Rainwilds pleasant, too

I was actually doing the Cinematic Audiobooks for Royce&Hadrian (whatever it's called, they're 2-3 hours shorter without endless 'he said, she said') and enjoyed the format, but have to return to classic audiobook format for Drumindor

Are the cinematic the ones with the sound effects, etc? One of these days I'll have to try audiobooks in earnest. I've only done a couple so far.

yeah, there're swords clashing and crowds cheering and steps stepping on mud, and rain with thunders and so on

I don't really like audiobooks (and rarely listen to a book I care about on Audio) but I don't like Ryiria that much and Cinematic ones make the experience shorter by 3 hours

Memoirs of Lady Trent were amazing on audio, and enhanced my enjoyment after feeling so-so on the series
