Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Natalie Beran’s voice is the perfect conduit for Iris Beaglehole's narrative. Her delivery is both intimate and captivating, perfectly capturing Alyssa's introspection as she navigates her new surroundings and grapples with her past. The pacing is masterful—slowing down in poignant moments of reflection and speeding up during bursts of action. However, the supernatural elements sometimes feel a bit too on-the-nose, which might detract from their intended impact. Nonetheless, this audiobook remains a standout, blending genre-defying magic with heartfelt storytelling that will keep listeners engrossed until the very end.
