Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Kimberly Woods delivers a remarkable performance in ‘The Ugly One.’ Her voice conveys Micay’s vulnerability while also capturing the resilience and determination of this young Incan girl. The story's pacing is deliberate, allowing ample time to appreciate the rich cultural context woven into Micay's daily life. Specific critiques are welcome: some historical details could benefit from slight expansion for listeners less familiar with Inca history. Nonetheless, this audiobook stands out as a powerful exploration of self-acceptance and community acceptance.
