Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was thoroughly enthralled by Sam Dastor's narration of Kim. His voice brings a sense of authenticity to the story, and his pacing is well-balanced, moving seamlessly from moments of high action to quieter, more introspective scenes. One of the standout elements of the story is its exploration of the tensions between different cultures and identities, which feels both historically grounded and remarkably relevant to contemporary issues. If I have any critiques, it's that some of the supporting characters feel a bit one-dimensional at times, and the story can be a bit slow to get started. However, once it picks up steam, it's impossible to stop listening. Overall, I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone looking for a rich, immersive listening experience.
