Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to The Poison Season, I found myself drawn into a world of eerie beauty, where the lines between reality and myth blur. Mara Rutherford's writing is a masterclass in atmospheric storytelling, and Amanda Dolan's narration is perfectly attuned to the novel's eerie, evocative tone. Dolan brings a sense of gravitas to the story, capturing the intensity and vulnerability of the characters as they navigate the treacherous landscape of their world. If I have one critique, it's that the pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, with some plot threads feeling a bit rushed in comparison to others. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging and immersive narrative. Overall, The Poison Season is a compelling listen that will appeal to fans of atmospheric fantasy and romance. Rutherford's unique take on the genre is sure to leave listeners eager for more, and Dolan's talented narration makes this novel a standout in the world of audiobooks.
