Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone with a deep interest in ancient history, I found Byzantium by Judith Herrin to be an enlightening and captivating listen. Phyllida Nash's narration was top-notch, with her smooth British accent and clear pronunciation making the dense historical content accessible and engaging. Herrin's writing is rich with detail, shedding light on a period of history that is often overlooked. The pacing of the audiobook was well-judged, allowing time for reflection on the complexities of the Byzantine Empire's role in shaping the world we live in today. One minor critique would be that the production quality could have been slightly better, with the occasional background noise distracting from the content. Nevertheless, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone fascinated by ancient history and the origins of our modern world.
