I recently read a book that started each part with a long message in binary code, the narrator read every one and zero, pages worth.

These days, you’re most likely to see large cast re-records for already successful series- think ACOTAR. But the bar is much lower for each POV getting a narrator.
I think some of it also reflects how easy it is to find a narrator that can do each character/any accent/language work.

It’s hard to say if the multiple POV thing is uncommon because multiple POVs isn’t super common, or because it’s an investment; probably both.
Any version with a large cast is unusual. Bruce Coville tried to make it a thing and couldn’t keep the company open, I wonder if it was bad timing.

More narrators than that isn’t common. But we’ve got two categories- the ones you care about most, where each POV is read by a different person (ie Olivie Blake’s Atlas Six) and books that don’t have multiple POVs but end up sounding like radio plays, sometimes unabridged and sometimes adapted.

Most books are single narrator. There are a bunch of two narrator books, mostly romance.
(Dual is when the FMC chapter is read by the female narrator, duet is when the female narrator reads her character’s lines even in other POV chapters. Dual is common, duet is not common)

I love Braiding Sweetgrass. It feels to me like a gentle hug from Mother Earth, a careful and loving depiction of the better relationship with the environment we could have, a way of valuing and relating we can start to move towards immediately.

But I can also recommend Robin Wall Kimmerer's book The Serviceberry, about abundance, reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. I love *all* of her books, but this one is short and is intended to meet the moment we find ourselves in- bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
