Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As a lifelong fan of Susan Cooper's 'The Dark is Rising' series, I was delighted to find this audiobook. The conversational format, with Cooper herself guiding us through her creation, is a fascinating departure from traditional narrations. The duo's banter is engaging, with Cooper's passion for her work shining through. However, the rapid pace sometimes leaves less time for the story's nuances to sink in. Additionally, while the brevity is refreshing, it may leave new listeners craving more. Despite these minor quibbles, this audiobook is a must-listen for fans, offering a unique perspective on Cooper's masterpiece.
