Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As I listened to The Thirteenth Child, I found myself swept up in its dark, mystical world, with characters that felt both familiar and strange. Christine Lakin's narration was a highlight, bringing a warmth and empathy to the characters' struggles. One of the standout aspects of this audiobook is its pacing – Craig masterfully ramps up the tension as the story unfolds, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats. My only critique is that some supporting characters feel slightly one-dimensional, which detracted slightly from the overall impact of the story. However, this is a minor quibble in an otherwise captivating listen.
