Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Amber Anderson delivers an electrifying performance as Cecily, bringing her story to life with such intensity that you'll feel the heat of her ambition. Her narration is both commanding and subtle, capturing every nuance of the queen’s character without ever overplaying it. The pacing is masterful, balancing moments of quiet introspection with the high-stakes political maneuvering that defines this era. While the plot at times can be overwhelming with its intricate web of alliances and betrayals, Garthwaite's writing style makes even the most complex scenarios accessible. There are moments where the pace feels a bit too rapid, but overall, The King’s Mother is an immersive and highly engaging listen. It’s a testament to Anderson’s talent that she can make you care so deeply about characters who lived centuries ago.
