Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was drawn into Pertinax's world from the very first chapter, thanks to Christopher Ashman's compelling narration. He masterfully captures the character's determination and resilience, making Pertinax's journey all the more inspiring. The pacing is excellent, balancing political intrigue with personal growth, and the production quality is top-notch. My only minor critique is that some of the more technical historical details could have been simplified for the average listener. However, this is a small price to pay for such an engaging and enlightening listen.
