I can't recommend a fantasy novel as that's way outside my area of expertise, but in terms of developing a knack for listening which was definitely a learned skill for me, I'd recommend starting with something light, something you've already read and liked, or both.

I'd also suggest that once you've identified a few candidates that you check and see what people have to say about the narrators. While ultimately reaction is personal, there are definitely stars and those who are, let me put it diplomatically, more controversial.
