I've not read many books with elves/dwarves/etc. but Eragon is my all-time favorite book, so I can suggest some others that I really enjoyed in the YA Fantasy genre.

Warrior Heir and following books - By Cinda Chima
Ranger's Apprentice series
Percy Jackson - if you haven't read them yet, they're pretty good

If you want something very entertaining, funny, and a bit more mature, you should check out Lies of Locke Lamora.

can you suggest any with a female narrator for the audio book? usually applies to books with a female main character.

Dunno who narrates Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, but it has a female main character. And it's very good.

apparently it's a male narrator, and from the sample he doesn't sound all that interesting :(

I've not really read many books with female main characters =/

Hunger Games might be female narrated, if you haven't already read them.
I've heard some pretty good things about the Graceling series.
In high school, a lot of people were talking about the City of Bones series.


Maybe check out this list for some other possibilities?

The hunger games audio books do have a female narrator, however a lot off ppl think she didn't fit the part well. I felt the same at first but she sort of grew on me by the end. The divergent series also has a female narrator, and so does the twilight and immortal instruments series.
