Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

David Thorpe delivers an outstanding performance in The Ritual, capturing the characters' emotions and tensions with ease. His voice conveys a sense of unease that complements Nevill's vivid descriptions of the Arctic landscape. The narrative pacing is spot-on, building suspense as the friends’ hike spirals into something far more sinister than they could have imagined. However, some listeners might find the character development a bit underwhelming in certain moments, which slightly hampers the overall experience. Despite this minor critique, The Ritual remains a gripping audiobook that will keep you on edge from start to finish.
