Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an editor, I've had the pleasure of listening to The Beginning of Sorrows, and I can confidently say that it's a tour-de-force of Christian fiction that will leave even the most jaded listeners breathless. Goodwin's world-building is nothing short of remarkable, conjuring a richly detailed landscape that's as unsettling as it is believable. Pierce's performance is equally impressive, bringing a depth and nuance to the characters that's simply captivating. One of the things that sets The Beginning of Sorrows apart is its thought-provoking exploration of faith and spirituality in the face of unimaginable adversity. Goodwin tackles some heavy themes, but he does so with sensitivity and compassion, never shying away from the complexity of the issues at hand. If I have any criticisms, it's that the pacing can feel a bit frenetic at times, with some scenes feeling a tad rushed. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise exceptional audiobook that's sure to appeal to fans of both Christian fiction and dystopian thrillers.
