The narration by various talented voices adds layers of depth and emotion to each story, elevating Russell’s already enchanting narratives. The first piece, ‘Orange World,’ sets the tone with its whimsical yet profound exploration of desire. While the pacing can sometimes feel uneven, the overall experience is a delightful journey through Russell's vivid imagination. A standout is the haunting tale of 'The Duck Boys,' which lingers long after you’ve listened. Despite minor pacing issues, this audiobook is a must-listen for fans of imaginative fiction and Karen Russell’s singular talent.
