I haven't read this series, but I'm so with you on the audiobook experience. New-to-me narrator angst seriously should be a thing; and I *hate* it if they switch narrators mid-series (just as I used to hate when they would switch actors for TV series characters back in the day). Yech.

Rosanne and the Becky disaster destroyed the show for me! And also Aunt Vivian on Fresh Prince.

I think the first time I paid attention to this sort of thing was when they replaced Barbara Bel Geddes by Donna Reed as Miss Ellie in "Dallas". They may have had a reason for doing it (Bel Geddes was recovering from cancer surgery IIRC), but it still felt wrong -- and the changes have gotten more and more arbitrary ever since. WHY??? You're right, it destroys the whole thing.
