It depends on on what type of fiction you like. If you're into fantasy with hard magic systems[0], I highly recommend anything by Brandon Sanderson. The narrators for the Mistborn and Stormlight Archives are pretty good.

I can also heartily recommend the first 5 or so Artemis Fowl books. They also have a great narrator.

[0] A hard magic is very understandable by the reader and can be used to resolve conflicts. Personally, I love them. See https://brandonsanderson.com/sandersons-first-law/

I have read the first 4 Artemis Fowl books. Does the quality drop after the fifth one?

I think the books are all pretty good, but the narrator of the books changes at some point for the audio books. The first several ones have a stellar narrator.

You probably mean the first 7 books narrated by Gerry O'Brien.
