Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Cynthia Erivo's performance shines in this audiobook, elevating every scene with her dynamic range. Her portrayal of Zélie Adebola is particularly standout; the strength and pain she conveys are palpable. The pacing is brisk, keeping listeners on edge as we approach the final showdown between old enemies and new allies. However, some sequences feel rushed, possibly due to Erivo’s urgency in delivering lines at a rapid pace. Despite this, the overall experience is undeniably engaging, making 'Children of Anguish and Anarchy' a must-listen for fans of young adult fantasy.
