Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

The narration in We Are Not Free is nothing short of exceptional, with each actor bringing their distinct voice to the table. Scott Keiji Takeda shines as Issei, his deep and commanding tone setting a somber yet determined tone for the narrative. The ensemble cast manages to capture the essence of their characters without overwhelming the story. However, some moments feel slightly rushed, particularly towards the end where the pacing could use a bit more breathing room. Despite this minor critique, We Are Not Free remains a compelling and emotionally charged audiobook that will resonate with listeners seeking a powerful coming-of-age tale.
