Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a self-proclaimed mythology buff, I was initially drawn to Battles and Quests for its promise of five new, fascinating stories to sink my teeth into. John Sessions' narration did not disappoint – his voice is a masterclass in conveying authority, emotion, and humor, often simultaneously. One thing that struck me, however, was the occasionally rushed pacing, particularly in the longer tales. While Sessions does an admirable job of managing the tempo, some listeners may find themselves wishing for a slightly more leisurely pace to fully absorb the world-building and character development.
