Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Joan Walker's narration is a standout element, imbuing 'The Goblin King' with a whimsical yet grounded energy. Her portrayal of Sophie is both brave and vulnerable, capturing the essence of a young girl discovering her true strength. The pacing is perfect, maintaining suspense and wonder throughout. A specific critique: while the goblin sprites are delightful, their occasional over-the-top reactions might slightly detract from the overall realism. Nevertheless, this audiobook stands out as an enchanting adventure for listeners aged 7 and up, offering a fresh take on classic fairy tales.
