Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

I devoured 'The Black Fire Concerto' in a single, mesmerizing sitting - and I'm still reeling from the experience. C.S.E. Cooney's narration is phenomenal, bringing a depth and nuance to Mike Allen's complex characters that is simply stunning. The story itself is a wild ride, careening from one shocking revelation to the next with a pace that's both frenetic and controlled. My only quibble is that the world-building can be a bit overwhelming at times, with a dizzying array of magical concepts and mythological references. Additionally, some of the supporting characters feel a bit underdeveloped, but this is a minor complaint in an otherwise outstanding audiobook. Overall, I highly recommend 'The Black Fire Concerto' to fans of dark fantasy and action-adventure - just be prepared for a sonic assault on the senses.
