Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was thoroughly enthralled by 'Phoenix Falling,' and Nicol Zanzarella's narration was a significant part of that. She brings a depth and nuance to the characters, particularly Petra and Gabe, that makes their complex relationship feel utterly real. One of the standout aspects of the story is its use of setting - Bickle's portrayal of the Yellowstone backcountry is vivid and immersive, making it easy to visualize the treacherous landscapes and eerie atmosphere. My only quibble is that the supporting cast of characters feels somewhat underdeveloped at times, particularly in the early stages of the story. While the main trio of Petra, Gabe, and Caleb is well-fleshed out, the rest of the characters feel somewhat one-dimensional. That being said, this is a minor complaint in an otherwise exceptional audiobook. With its breakneck pacing and gripping narrative, 'Phoenix Falling' is a must-listen for fans of fantasy and science fiction.
