Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Robin Miles delivers a stellar performance that breathes life into N. K. Jemisin's intricate world. Her nuanced portrayal of Essun—shifted from Damaya to Syenite—is particularly compelling, capturing the character's complexity and resilience. The audiobook’s pacing is masterful, balancing suspense with moments of introspection. However, some listeners might find the dense plot occasionally challenging, as Jemisin delves into complex themes of identity and revenge. Despite this, 'The Obelisk Gate' remains a gripping tale that will keep you engrossed until the very end.
