Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Maggie Thompson’s narration is a standout feature that elevates 'Tangleroot' from good to extraordinary. Her ability to seamlessly shift between the various characters—each with their distinct tones and inflections—is nothing short of impressive. Noni’s internal monologues are particularly poignant, thanks to Thompson's nuanced delivery, which captures both her insecurities and burgeoning self-awareness. The story itself is a whirlwind of emotions, tackling issues like societal pressure and personal growth with an unflinching honesty that will resonate deeply. However, the pacing can feel slightly uneven at times, with some sections dragging more than others. Nonetheless, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone interested in exploring complex relationships and the search for self-identity.
