Editor's Review ★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Chris Sorensen delivers an exceptional performance in ‘Wizards’ by Brian Fairbanks. His clear and steady narration ensures that the dense factual content flows smoothly, making it easy to follow along with complex political jargon. The narrative is well-paced for most of the book but can feel a bit overwhelming at times due to its fast clip. Despite this, Sorensen’s emotional depth brings each character to life, particularly Duke and Roemer, offering a nuanced portrayal of their motivations and actions. Fairbanks’ writing shines in his ability to contextualize events with insightful analysis, making the audiobook both an informative political journey and a compelling personal story. The only critique is that some sections could use more editorial pruning for clarity; still, this is one of the more gripping biographical/political listens out there.
