Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I devoured Qualify in one sitting, entranced by Sofia Willingham's captivating performance. As I navigated the novel's dark, high-tech world, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration for Nazarian's bold vision and technical expertise. However, some listeners may find the pacing occasionally uneven, with a few sections feeling slightly rushed. Specifically, the character of Rowan, Gwenevere's potential ally, feels somewhat underdeveloped, leaving his role in the narrative feeling somewhat ambiguous. Nevertheless, these minor quibbles are eclipsed by the sheer scope and emotional resonance of Qualify, making it a must-listen for fans of science fiction and young adult literature.
