Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Cassandra Campbell’s soothing yet dynamic narration elevates 'The Glass Universe,' transporting listeners through time with ease. Her clear pronunciation and nuanced tone bring each character to life, making even the most technical concepts relatable. The pacing is just right—slowing down during critical moments while speeding up when recounting exhilarating discoveries. However, at times, the narrative can feel a bit too academic, which may detract from casual listeners seeking more of an adventure. Despite this minor critique, Sobel’s writing shines through Campbell’s skilled voice, making 'The Glass Universe' a must-listen for anyone fascinated by history and astronomy.
