I'm going to go do that now, to avoid future mind blowing about my favorite narrators.

Yeah I was totally surprised to find out they are married. I mean how amazing is that.

I mean....Matt Cauthon can have conversations with Jasnah. We don't have the language to describe.."hmmmm you would need numbers"

So, you may have reasons to not do this, but there's actually an option in audible's options to seamlessly meld multipart books back together. It's called "seamless multipart play."  

I checked my audible app and can't find this. Can you point me in a direction?

Well, I was listening to the book in class... and then Elokar died. I started crying in the middle of class, needless to say, that was tough to explain to people. The performance was perfect and made it all the more devastating, you know, in a good way.

So maybe it is just me, but when Kate does the voice for Kaladin it really throws me off

Sure - so, in the Android version it's accessible from the library screen.  Menu on the left -> settings -> playback settings, then it's the 5th option.

Thanks @Stairdweller. I'm on iOS and don't have that setting. I have options for single or multipart downloads, but not seamless play. Oh well, I suppose I'll live.

That’s kinda the one thing audiobooks have over reading when you have a good narrator. First time around I usually half read half listen. I’ve noticed that on big or emotional moments that I previously read and then listen to later they seem more impact hearing them.
