Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Brian Tyree Henry’s narration is the heart of 'We Travel the Spaceways.' His voice carries both gravity and warmth, perfectly capturing the essence of a couple grappling with life-altering events. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing listeners to fully immerse themselves in LaValle's intricate narrative. Despite its brevity, the story lingers with a philosophical heaviness that reflects on what truly matters. A standout critique is how the audiobook lacks visual cues, making some of the Otherworldly elements less impactful than they could be. Nevertheless, it’s a must-listen for fans of African American literature and sci-fi enthusiasts seeking deep emotional resonance.
