Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Cynthia Hopkins delivers a standout performance in 'An Absent Dream.' Her voice perfectly captures Lundy’s introspection and vulnerability, making each moment resonate deeply. The story is rich with magical detail and emotional depth, but occasionally feels a bit too slow for its own good. Still, the powerful narrative and vivid world-building keep listeners invested until the very end. A must-listen for fantasy aficionados looking for a heartfelt and imaginative journey.
