Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Sterling Sulieman delivers an electrifying performance that elevates Kacen Callender's already compelling narrative. His nuanced portrayal of Loren Jannik, the former slave chosen to lead a revolution against colonial oppression, is nothing short of extraordinary. The pacing is brisk and the story unfolds with a thrilling intensity, making it difficult to put down. However, some listeners might find the dense world-building occasionally breaks the flow. Despite this, King of the Rising remains an engaging and thought-provoking listen that offers a fresh perspective on historical struggles through the lens of science fiction.
