Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Caitlin Kelly’s narration is a standout feature of this audiobook, her performance lending depth and emotion to Jude's struggles. The pacing is brisk, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats as Jude faces impossible choices. However, some dialogue feels a bit forced at times, detracting slightly from the overall impact. Despite these minor hiccups, 'The Wicked King' remains an exhilarating listen that captures the essence of Holly Black’s intricate world-building and character development.
