Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I had the pleasure of listening to 'Dark Horse' with Christina Delaine's narration accompanying me through Rose's story. Delaine's skillful voice brings a much-needed warmth to the tale, making the isolation and loneliness of Rose's situation palpable. The pacing is well-balanced, with a perfect blend of action, introspection, and emotional depth that kept me invested in the narrative. What particularly stood out to me was Diener's thought-provoking exploration of artificial intelligence and its potential implications on human existence. While some listeners may find Rose's dependence on Sazo a tad convenient, I appreciated the way Diener navigated this aspect of the story, making it feel organic to the plot. Overall, 'Dark Horse' is a remarkable listen that combines science fiction and romance in a unique and captivating way.
