Wow, I don't realize how great Marc Thompson is until I switch audiobooks
I've listened to Star Wars audiobooks for the better part of a decade now, and trying to read through the High Republic in chronological order I was thrilled that Marc Thompson read Light of the Jedi. That said, I keep forgetting how phenomenal he is as a reader until I have to switch from the main books to the young adult books. Jonathan Davis is pretty good, but man are the young reader audiobooks and some of the other teen books a massive shift in on quality. No hate at all to any of the other narrators! I just think listening to Mark Thompson makes me forget that I'm listening to an audiobook and not watching a movie or a full audio drama.
That said, as someone reading through the books for the first time, are there any audiobook or audio drama performances in the High Republic that have been some of your favorites? I usually listen to audiobooks while I do other things around the house, but I'm considering switching to physical books if the narration is enough of a struggle for me to stay focused
