Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Elaine Claxton’s narration in Monstrous Heart is nothing short of enchanting. Her deep and rich voice perfectly complements the complex emotions and dramatic setting. The pacing is just right, balancing intense action sequences with quieter, more introspective scenes that draw you deeper into the story. However, a few moments felt slightly rushed, particularly during some crucial plot developments. Despite this, the overall experience was exhilarating, with McKenna’s vivid descriptions of dragon ships and mythical landscapes painting a vivid picture in your mind. This audiobook is a thrilling journey for fans of V.E. Schwab and China Miéville, filled with mystery, romance, and breathtaking magic.
