I listen to a lot of audiobooks, so consequently I can tell you all about my favorite characters and alien races but fucked if I know how the author chose to spell it.
That usually works, but not always. The Wheel of Time audiobooks have two narrators. Michael Kramer reads when the POV is from a male character and Kate Reading reads female POVs. They apparently don’t to each other, because they pronounce many names differently. For instance, is the character Moghedien pronounced MOH-gah-deen or moh-GED-ee-in?
This is true. I dont try to consume “dense” material via audiobook. Usually LitRpg stuff or more pulpy scifi. I straight up dont have the time to read, but my job involves a lot of driving.
The thing that bugs me about people who hate on audiobooks (Not saying you were) is that yeah, someones reading it to me but I’m still supporting authors. Sadly books are a declining market.

The problem with audiobooks is you can miss a key word or phrase when something is introduced and then go through the whole book wrong.
