I've surprised myself by holding on to Kindle Unlimited for a couple months at full price, mostly because of audio books and to a lesser extent comics. I tore through the main arc of The Mongoliad, and I'm in book three of the Worldwalker series, though I've switched over to text on this one as I finally was able to pick up the thread of the most recent Foreigner audiobook. The Mongoliad audiobooks were free (and solidly narrated, great action fantasy/alt-history) and the Worldwalker audiobooks I "added narration" at $2 each. Worldwalker is written like a sloppy thriller - present day, POV all over the place, USA Today prose - but the themes and tropes are right up my alley. It's a mashup of urban fantasy and UFOs right from the start, but you can tell the author's stronger influences are probably psychological thrillers and superhero stories.
