Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook listener, I often crave depth, and 'The Forest' delivers. Rutherfurd's research is impressive, his storytelling engaging. Redgrave's narration is a treat, her voice capturing the essence of each character, from the Norman knights to the modern-day rangers. The pacing might be a tad slow for some, but I found it immersive, like a leisurely walk through the forest itself. My only critique? I wish there were more moments of tension to balance the rich historical detail. Overall, it's a compelling listen, perfect for history buffs and those seeking a unique, atmospheric adventure.
