Justine Eyre’s narration in ‘In Praise of Blood’ is nothing short of stellar. Her delivery captures the gravity of the subject matter without ever feeling overwrought. The pacing is masterful, seamlessly transitioning between narrative exposition and raw interviews to create a layered listening experience. Rever’s research is meticulous, but she doesn’t shy away from the uncomfortable truths, making this audiobook a tough yet essential listen. The critique lies in how the dense historical context might occasionally feel overwhelming; however, Eyre’s clear voice ensures you’re never left behind. A must-listen for anyone interested in investigative journalism and the complexities of modern African politics.
