Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

If I have any criticisms, it's that Dyja sometimes gets bogged down in too much detail, particularly when discussing the city's early infrastructure projects. At times, I found myself struggling to keep track of the various initiatives and plans, and wished the author had simplified the narrative. Additionally, some of the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional, lacking the depth and nuance of the city itself. However, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise excellent audiobook.
