Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Tara Sands delivers an exceptional narration that perfectly balances the adventurous spirit of Red with moments of suspense and mystery. The pacing is impeccable, never dragging as it hurtles forward with a sense of urgency that keeps you hooked from start to finish. What sets this audiobook apart is its rich world-building and complex character development. While some may find the magical elements overly fantastical, I found them integral in enhancing the storytelling. However, there are times when the narrative delves into plot twists that feel slightly forced, detracting a bit from the overall impact. Nonetheless, 'Red' remains a must-listen for anyone who loves a good reimagined fairy tale.
