Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to The Last Priest of Tintagel, I found myself fully invested in the world of 12th century Cornwall, where the characters and their struggles are so vividly drawn. Narrator David Wealleans brings a depth and nuance to his performances that makes each character feel fully realized. However, at times, the pacing of the story felt a bit uneven, with some sections feeling a bit meandering. That being said, Taylor's writing is so rich and evocative that even these moments felt like a deliberate choice, rather than a weakness. One of the things that struck me most about this novel is the way Taylor explores the complexities of faith and family in a world where these institutions are deeply intertwined. Piran's struggles to balance his vocation with the needs of his family and community are deeply relatable, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of faith and community in the face of adversity. All in all, The Last Priest of Tintagel is a compelling and thought-provoking listen that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, especially those interested in the medieval period.
