I wish I could blacklist narrators

I could only make it about 20 minutes into the book. The narrator reads everything like it's the most tragic event that could have happened. Her droning, doomed voice reading out "Looking out the window, he had never been more excited" really takes you out of the story.

Listened to about 3-4 hours. All throughout that time, the story kept alluding to past adventures and relationships in a way that made me feel like I was missing a huge section of story, like this was a spin off or something. I just went along with it at first, assuming I'd later learn more about the main character working for a lich or his romantic involvements with Artemis. But when they started reminiscing about how they stopped the apocalypse in the past, that was my limit. Why is the book just about the main character and his roommate trying to make rent?? Where's the actual story??

Narrator is mindblowingly self-centered

The story is told from the perspective of the father. His daughter is suspected of murder. 80% of the story is just him talking about how it's all his fault because he didn't have a good enough connection to God, and this is his punishment. He's never not talking about himself. Sorry, but I don't consider "a gripping thriller" to mean listening to a man self pitying himself for 12 hours.

The story is so unique and wonderful, but the narrator constantly yells and sounds like she's on the verge of tears. Her tone puts a near-death experience on par with a tense conversation. I'm considering just reading the rest of the series so I don't have to listen to her shriek about every little thing. The main character would seem so confident and strong if it weren't for this abysmal narration.
