Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

I was drawn into 'Seventh Son' from the start, thanks to the exceptional narration. Scott Brick's warm, resonant voice for Alvin is perfect, capturing his growth from a naive boy to a wise, powerful man. Gabrielle de Cuir's versatility is a standout, from Alvin's mother to the enigmatic Hetty. Stephen Hoye's deep, commanding tone brings gravitas to the story's more sinister elements. The pacing is steady, allowing Card's intricate world-building and character development to unfold naturally. My only critique is that some of the folk magic explanations could have been integrated more smoothly into the narrative. Overall, this is a must-listen for fans of unique fantasy worlds and compelling coming-of-age stories.
