Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Rupert Degas's narration is a triumph, effortlessly shifting between the protagonist’s dry wit and the antagonist's sinister tone. The first time he says 'Cross my heart and hope to die,' it almost feels like an over-the-top joke, but by the end of this 7-hour adventure, you'll be rooting for his sarcasm. Pacing is brisk yet not rushed, giving each character enough space to shine. However, some plot points feel a bit too convenient, which can pull you out of the narrative at times. Despite these minor flaws, Skulduggery Pleasant remains an audiobook that demands your attention and will keep you hooked until the very end.
