Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I found myself completely engrossed in Heather Palmer’s world of Bloodbound from the very first chapter. The narration by Freya Mavor and Jessie Mei Li is particularly commendable; their performances bring a depth of emotion to Ythsie and Stroma that elevates the story beyond its genre. However, I did wish for slightly more detailed exploration into some secondary characters, which might have enriched the overall narrative experience. The pacing remains steady throughout, with moments of high tension and heart-wrenching drama that keep listeners on edge. Production values are top-notch, enhancing the vivid imagery described by Palmer. If you’re a fan of complex, character-driven fantasy stories with an LGBTQ+ focus, Bloodbound is well worth your time.
