Foundryside

Tara Sands' performance as an audiobook narrator is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to distinguish between the myriad of characters, each with their own distinct voices and personalities, elevates Foundryside from a good story to a truly captivating experience. The narrative unfolds at a steady pace that keeps you engaged without overwhelming you. Bennett's world-building is meticulous; the complexity of the magic systems and the intricate political landscape draw you in, but the pacing can sometimes feel slightly slow for those seeking immediate action. Nonetheless, it’s the depth of character development and the subtle hints at larger mysteries that keep the listener hooked until the very end.
