I just started Dungeon Crawler Carl. In it he fights a Spanish speaking boss. The Spanish is not translated (so far) and if you can read it, it really changes the mood and impact of the entire scene.

Are there any other books that hide significant plot points behind the use of foreign language?

The only way my brain is reading that is "mayo on my mouse", don't know how I should feel about that.

I read most of them in print, but I switched to audio for the last book when I heard about the vocal talent. Might be the best recording of any book I have ever experienced.

Jim Dale's Harry Potter recordings are still the best I've ever listened to.

I listened to a few of those, many years ago. Jeff Hays is in another league, I was stunned to hear that these audiobooks weren't fully casted.

I'll give them a try.
