Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

‘Arthur’ is a captivating audio journey that reimagines the legend of King Arthur through six compelling plays. Ben Whishaw’s nuanced performance as Merlin adds a layer of mystery and wisdom, while Philip Glenister lends gravitas as the king. The full cast performances are uniformly strong, especially Eve Best as Morgan le Fay. However, some segments feel rushed, particularly during Arran’s initial struggles, which could have benefited from more development. Overall, this audiobook is an engaging listen for those who enjoy mythological storytelling and well-crafted narratives.
