Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Rob Inglis' narration is a tour de force, bringing Ged's decades of experience to life with a voice that's both commanding and contemplative. The pacing is measured, allowing Le Guin's poetic language to resonate fully. The story's middle section, while crucial to the plot, felt a tad slow, but the climax more than makes up for it. The production is clean, with no intrusive background noise. 'The Farthest Shore' is a must-listen for fans of thoughtful, character-driven fantasy.
