Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Amber Benson shines as narrator in this gripping audiobook. Her ability to shift seamlessly between characters—each with distinct voices and tones—makes the complex narrative accessible and immersive. The story's pacing is impeccable, balancing intense action sequences with quieter, reflective moments that delve into the psychological impacts of superpowers. However, some plot elements feel rushed towards the end, leaving room for deeper exploration in subsequent books. Despite this, Swarm remains a compelling listen, perfect for fans of diverse, character-driven stories.
