Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Tavia Gilbert's performance is the heart of this audiobook. She captures Eve's growth from a scared, hunted teen to a determined survivor, her voice echoing Eve's emotional journey. Carey's pacing is excellent, balancing action and introspection, but the plot can feel predictable at times. Despite this, 'Once' is a compelling listen, with a unique twist on the dystopian trope that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
