AudioBook Atlas

When I first started listening to When We Were Monsters by Jennifer Niven, I was immediately drawn into the intricate web of suspense that the narrator's voices wove. Each character is brought alive with their unique cadence and emotional range; Briggon Snow’s portrayal of the protagonist is particularly captivating. The pacing is well-constructed, keeping the listener on edge until the very end. However, there are moments where the narrative could have benefited from a bit more clarity in the transitions between scenes. Overall, this audiobook is an excellent choice for those who enjoy dark academia stories with layered mysteries and compelling performances.
