Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas Editorial Team

As a listener, I was immediately drawn into the world of Nimble Nottingham, where a young orphan's accidental unleashing of a shadow monster sets off a chain of events that will keep you guessing until the very end. Andrew Fallaize's narration is nothing short of exceptional, bringing depth and nuance to the story that will leave you invested in the characters' struggles. One of my favorite aspects of the audiobook is the way Black weaves historical details into the narrative, making the war-torn London of 1940 feel eerily real. However, at times the pacing can feel a bit rushed, and some listeners may find the supporting characters slightly underdeveloped. These minor quibbles aside, The Dark Times of Nimble Nottingham is a heart-pounding, expertly crafted listen that will thrill fans of adventure and historical fiction. I found myself on edge as Nimble navigated treacherous streets and unexpected alliances, and I'm confident that listeners of all ages will be captivated by this thrilling tale.
