Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Jim D. Johnston's narration is a standout feature of this audiobook. He masterfully switches between characters, maintaining a distinct voice for each, which is particularly impressive given the wide range of creatures and beings in these tales. The pacing is spot on, allowing the listener to fully immerse themselves in the magical worlds created by Sazanami. However, at times, the sheer number of stories can feel overwhelming, and some listeners might wish for a bit more context or connection between the tales. Overall, this is a fantastic listen for anyone interested in Japanese mythology and folklore.
