Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Alexandra Bailey’s nuanced performance elevates 'Of Metal and Wishes,' capturing Wen's raw emotions with a mix of vulnerability and strength. The pacing is deliberate yet relentless, mirroring the oppressive atmosphere of the factory setting. However, some dialogue-heavy scenes feel slightly drawn out, detracting from the fluid narrative flow. This audiobook excels in its vivid world-building and compelling character development, making it an engaging listen that challenges listeners to confront difficult themes.
