Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Matthew Bridges brings ‘Under the Fading Sky’ to life with remarkable skill, his deep, resonant voice perfectly mirroring the protagonist’s journey. The pacing is deliberate yet engrossing, each pause adding weight to Kadohata's poignant storytelling. While the audiobook excels in its portrayal of the main character’s descent into vaping addiction, some dialogue feels slightly stilted at times, detracting from the seamless narrative flow. Overall, however, it’s a powerful and unforgettable experience that captures the essence of teenage anxiety and resilience.
