Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Sophie Amoss’s narration is the standout feature of 'The Cassandra.' Her ability to convey Mildred's emotional turmoil through subtle inflections makes each scene deeply affecting. The pacing is deliberate yet engrossing, allowing listeners ample time to absorb the complex ethical dilemmas at play. However, some might find the narrative too slow in its initial build-up. Despite this, Shields’ writing ultimately delivers a satisfying and intellectually stimulating listen that explores themes of fate versus free will with grace. 'The Cassandra' is a nuanced journey into the mind of a woman whose visions redefine her place in history.
