Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Graeme Malcolm's narration is nothing short of stellar in 'White King.' His deep, resonant voice brings the historical figures to life with such vivid detail that you can almost smell the dust-laden corridors of Edward II’s palace. The pacing is well-balanced, neither too fast nor too slow, allowing listeners to digest the intricate plot twists and turns. However, there are moments where the sheer number of characters might overwhelm; a clearer introduction or brief recap could enhance comprehension for newer listeners. Overall, this audiobook is a compelling exploration of power, loyalty, and betrayal in 14th-century England.
