Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Alan Cumming delivers a dynamic performance that perfectly complements Scott Westerfeld's visionary storytelling. His nuanced portrayal of Alek and Deryn adds depth to their complex relationships, while his commanding voice brings the intricate plot twists and thrilling battles to life. The pacing is impeccable, with just enough historical context to ground the sci-fi elements without slowing down the narrative. However, some listeners might find the dense dialogue occasionally overwhelming. Overall, Goliath is a must-listen for fans of young adult fiction and those who appreciate a blend of history and speculative storytelling.
