About This Audiobook

Anthea Sharp's 'Black as Night' is a spellbinding retelling of 'Snow White' that's as dark as its title. Sharp masterfully weaves a tale of intrigue, betrayal, and redemption, set against a richly imagined, steampunk-inspired world. The story's distinctive appeal lies in its complex, morally grey characters, particularly Neeve, the step-sister you can't help but root for, despite her initial prickliness. Amy Landon's narration is a standout feature, bringing each character to life with nuance and emotion, making this audiobook a must-listen for fans of dark, captivating fantasy.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I delved into 'Black as Night', I was immediately struck by Amy Landon's narration, which is nothing short of exceptional. She effortlessly captures the essence of each character, from Neeve's initial haughtiness to her eventual vulnerability, making it impossible not to become invested in their journey. The pacing is spot-on, building tension and suspense with each twist and turn of the plot. However, I must admit, the story's dark nature may not be for everyone, as it explores themes of abuse and betrayal that could be triggering for some listeners. But for those who appreciate a more mature, complex take on classic fairy tales, 'Black as Night' is an absolute gem.
