Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Alan Cumming's nuanced performance elevates 'Behemoth,' capturing both the heroism and the internal struggles of its characters. His Scottish accent adds a rich layer to the steampunk setting, perfectly complementing Westerfeld's detailed world-building. The pacing is excellent, with thrilling action sequences interspersed with poignant moments of introspection. However, at times, the complexity of the plot might feel overwhelming for casual listeners. Nevertheless, 'Behemoth' remains an engaging and thought-provoking journey through history and technology.
