Annie Q Riegal's narration is nothing short of brilliant in this fast-paced middle-grade audiobook. Her voice perfectly captures the energy and tension of chess matches while providing warmth to May Li’s character development. The pacing is spot-on, keeping listeners hooked from start to finish. Despite its short runtime, there are moments where the narrative could use a bit more detail—particularly in describing some of the finer nuances of chess gameplay—but these minor critiques don’t detract from the overall excellence. Kyla Zhao's script is sharp and full of life, making this audiobook a standout choice for anyone looking to explore themes of girl power and competitive spirit.
