Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Noma Dumezweni's narration breathes life into Anglet Sutonga’s journey, capturing his bravery and vulnerability with impeccable nuance. The story unfolds in a city where social divides are stark, and each chapter adds layers to the mystery that keeps you hooked. The pacing is deliberate yet urgent, allowing time for reflection while heightening suspense. However, some scenes feel overly reliant on exposition which could have been integrated more smoothly into the narrative flow. Despite this minor critique, Steeplejack remains a compelling listen, perfect for fans of young adult thrillers and those who enjoy atmospheric storytelling.
