Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Keong Sim's narration is the true heart of this audiobook, delivering nuanced performances that enhance Kang's lyrical prose. The family dynamics are raw and relatable, capturing the nuances of intergenerational relationships with authenticity. However, there are moments where the pacing feels slightly uneven, as if the author is eager to cram too many stories into a single narrative thread. Nonetheless, Sim's vivid portrayal of each character brings the mythological elements to life, making even the most abstract tales resonate deeply.
