Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Chris Abell’s performance is nothing short of stellar, delivering Colonna's intricate tale with precision and emotion. Each character comes alive under his voice acting, making it easy to distinguish between the pope and his rivals. The story unfolds with a steady pace that keeps listeners engaged without ever feeling rushed. However, some sections could benefit from clearer transitions, as the rapid flow of information occasionally makes certain events less digestible. Nevertheless, this audiobook offers an enlightening perspective on one of the most pivotal periods in recent religious history, making it a must-listen for those interested in politics and religion.
