I feel like audiobooks are the sort o' thing where it's oh-so important to have a good narrating voice, say, if someone like the late, great Tony Jay had more audiobooks under his belt; I'd be all over it.
For Earthsea, this'll be my first time going through it & am otherwise happy with the first book, but I think I'm a little more excited to get through Tombs of Atuan as it seems to have some elements that we, as a group, were left wanting for: more strong female characters, & perhaps a deeper exploration of some of the territories that seem such a blur in A Wizard of Earthsea.
Any folks who've read it (or other/similar works) feel free to chime in; but do you find that the series gets better as you read it? or might there be any suggestion to jump straight up to Tales from Earthsea, et al?
