Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into the world of Manhattan Ember by Olive Collins through Maeve Smyth's captivating narration. Her voice carries the weight of history and the tension of the mystery, perfectly complementing the rich, atmospheric prose. I particularly enjoyed the way Smyth brought Marguerite's character to life, conveying her grief, determination, and growth as the story unfolds. However, at times, I found the pacing a bit slow, and the narrative could have benefited from a more dynamic approach to certain plot points. Despite this, the immersive sound design and well-executed production make Manhattan Ember an engaging and memorable audiobook experience.
