Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Mary Robinette Kowal’s performance in Glamour in Glass is nothing short of superb. Her voice perfectly captures the wit and elegance required to bring Austen-like characters to life, while still infusing them with modern flair. The pacing is excellent, allowing each character and plot twist to unfold just as they should. However, there are moments where the narration feels a bit too on-the-nose, which slightly breaks the immersion. Despite this minor critique, Kowal’s audiobook remains an immersive and thoroughly enjoyable listen that showcases her talent as both writer and narrator.
