Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Anna Fields delivers a standout performance that perfectly complements Mary Doria Russell's intricate storytelling. Her narration brings Sandoz’s internal struggles and external challenges to vivid life, making listeners feel every moment of his journey. The pacing is impeccable; it manages to balance the slower, reflective moments with the fast-paced revelations of discovery without ever feeling rushed or dragging. However, some might find the dense philosophical discussions a bit heavy at times, which could slow down the listening experience for those preferring a lighter touch. Nonetheless, ‘Children of God’ is a profound and captivating audiobook that will resonate deeply with anyone who appreciates thoughtful science fiction.
