Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Kaipo Schwab's stellar performance is the standout feature of this audiobook. His deep, resonant voice brings a sense of warmth and authenticity to Cowney Sequoyah's story, grounding listeners in the rich tapestry of Cherokee culture. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing time for the intricate details of the Grove Park Inn and Resort to unfold without overwhelming the narrative. However, some scenes feel slightly slowed down, which could benefit from a more streamlined editing approach to keep the momentum going. Overall, 'Even As We Breathe' is a compelling listen that offers both heart and depth.
