Once you learn about dramatized audiobooks, you’ll never listen to BookTok novels the same way again. Dramatized audiobooks—also known as full-cast audiobooks—bring to life the publishing industry’s most popular reads with a full cast of voice actors playing each character.

Compared to traditional audiobooks, which feature often feature one voice actor playing all the characters, dramatized adaptations of audiobooks provide another layer to storytelling and represent a form of media that’s the closest fans will see to a A Court of Thorns and Roses or Fourth Wing TV series before the shows actually come out.

Where to Listen to Dramatized Audiobooks

One of the best places to listen to dramatized audiobooks is Audible, Amazon’s books streaming service, which offers thousands of audiobooks on demand including dramatized versions of BookTok favorites like the A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing, and Hooked series.

From now until December 31, 2024, Audible is also offering a holiday promotion where eligible Amazon customers in the United States can sign up for Audible Premium Plus for 99 cents per month for their first three months. (The deal will revert to Audible’s regular price of $14.95 after three months ends.)

Auible offers two plans: Audible Plus, which costs $7.95 per month, and Audible Premium Plus, which costs $14.95 per month. Both plans include a 30-day free trial, as well as unlimited access to Audible’s library of thousands of audiobooks, podcasts, originals, sleep tracks, and meditation programs. Both plans also allow users to save titles to their library to download and listen offline.

Audible Premium Plus includes everything with Audible Plus, as well as one credit per month to redeem any audiobook on Audible’s selection of bestsellers and new releases for the subscribers to keep. Subscribers can also keep all their monthly credits for up to one year if there isn’t an audiobook that interests them for a particular month. (Audiobooks able to be redeemed by the credit will have a “1 credit” label beneath them.)
