Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Carolyn Kang and Dylan J. Locke’s narration is nothing short of stellar in When You Wish Upon a Lantern. Their voices seamlessly blend to create an atmosphere that is both warm and evocative. The pacing is spot-on, allowing the story to unfold at just the right pace, with moments of tension and heartwarming revelation interlaced perfectly. Chao’s writing is lyrical and insightful, delving deep into the complexities of teenage emotions without ever feeling heavy-handed. However, some sections felt a bit slow, particularly when detailing the logistics of the wish-granting process, which could have benefited from tighter editing. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone seeking a heartfelt tale of friendship and love that shines with genuine emotion.
