A highly unscientific list of Fantasy and Sci-fi books where the audiobook leveled up the experience. I’ve either listened to them or they’ve come highly recommended. Input welcome!

Have you listened to the Illuminae Files by Amie Kaufman? It is full cast. The book is made up of emails, journal entries, descriptions of videos etc and was thought impossible to do in audio.
Added, thanks! I've heard Sleeping Giants is written similarly (in a series of interviews and logs), and that its audiobook is well done. I'm curious to try them now
The Compound by Aisling Rawle had me in a chokehold for 2 days.
I added it, thank you~
