Audiobooks Like Six of Crows

Six of Crows uses a full cast — Jay Snyder, Lauren Fortgang, and several others — to split the heist crew's perspectives, each narrator carrying their character's particular brand of damage and calculation, and at 15 hours the ensemble structure means the listen never settles into a single rhythm. Every single one of the ten recommendations features at least one voice from this cast, and most are deep in the Leigh Bardugo catalogue — the same dark, found-family energy and morally complex characters who trust each other just enough to survive.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
