Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was immediately drawn into Felix's world, his struggles and dreams feeling painfully real. Blackborow's narration is a revelation, her ability to switch between characters seamless and convincing. The pacing is excellent, balancing tension and tenderness, while Hokin's prose is vivid and unflinching. My only critique is that the ending feels a tad rushed, but it's a minor quibble in an otherwise outstanding audiobook. If you're looking for a historical fiction that's gritty, romantic, and deeply moving, 'The Fortunate Ones' is a must-listen.
