Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I was immediately drawn into Destined to Last by Carmen Rose's exceptional narration. She masterfully differentiates characters, from the spirited Lady Kate to the brooding Lord Henry, making each voice distinct and engaging. Johnson's storytelling is a delight, with a pace that keeps you hooked. The story is not without its slower moments, particularly in the middle, but the richly drawn characters and their compelling journey more than make up for it. I also appreciated the authentic portrayal of the era, with its complexities and contradictions. My only critique is that some of the secondary plotlines felt a bit rushed towards the end, but overall, Destined to Last is a standout listen that I'd highly recommend to historical fiction fans looking for a romance with substance.
