Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Roy McMillan’s narration for Landmarks is nothing short of exceptional. His voice modulates seamlessly with Macfarlane's prose, turning dense academic content into a captivating oral journey. The pacing is just right—slowing down during reflective sections while speeding through brisk historical narratives. However, at times the narrative can feel slightly dry due to its academic nature, which might not appeal to all listeners. Still, for those interested in the interplay between landscape and culture, this audiobook remains a must-listen.
