Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Fiona Hardingham's narration is a standout feature of Ticker. She captures Penny's spirit beautifully, from her initial vulnerability to her growing strength and determination. The pacing is spot-on, keeping the listener engaged throughout the story's twists and turns. However, I found some of the world-building explanations a bit info-dumpy, which could have been integrated more naturally into the narrative. Overall, Ticker is a compelling listen that offers a fresh take on steampunk, making it a great choice for fans of unique world-building and strong female protagonists.
