Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Listening to Hekla's Children was an immersive experience. Davies' narration is outstanding, particularly his portrayal of the enigmatic Olivia, whose trauma is palpable in every word. The story is a slow burn, but it's worth the wait. Brogden's use of Icelandic folklore and the stark, unforgiving landscape adds a unique layer of horror. However, some might find the pacing a bit slow in the middle. Overall, it's a compelling listen that will keep you up at night, wondering what secrets the Icelandic hills hide.
