Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Esther Wane's performance in ‘Queens at War’ is nothing short of exceptional. Her ability to imbue each queen with unique tones and personalities ensures listeners can easily differentiate between them, even when the narrative shifts rapidly from one woman to another. The book’s focus on the personal lives alongside political machinations makes for a gripping listen. However, some sections detailing complex family disputes might be overwhelming for those seeking lighter fare. Nonetheless, Weir's prose is masterful, and Wane’s narration only enhances its impact. This audiobook stands as a powerful exploration of power, ambition, and the human condition during a tumultuous era.
