On Seas So Crimson

Listening to On Seas So Crimson is like being trapped in a claustrophobic, gas-masked London, with every breath a struggle. Araya's narration is exceptional, her ability to switch between accents and characters seamless. She imbues each word with a sense of urgency, making the listener feel like they're right there in the thick of it. The story moves at a steady pace, balancing action and intrigue with moments of quiet reflection. Young's writing is visceral and unapologetic, but at times, it can feel a tad heavy-handed with its political messaging. Still, it's a compelling listen that will leave you questioning what you'd do in a world gone mad.
