Given I was taking part in the 4 Nations Readathon round for July, I needed a book that fit a 'one word' title prompt and remembered that I wanted to read the audiobook. Plus it made sense as well since I wanted to finish this book come August as part of a yearly goal and as part of The Final Book Support Group's 48hr Readathon round. So, I grabbed the book off Scribd and tucked in for a re-read. I knew already that I enjoyed this book — my rating for the Kindle Edition was 4/5 stars — yet I didn't expect the audio would jump my rating up an entire star. The narrator does such an amazing job that it felt like a fresh read. While the content of the book is powerful, and Binti's journey definitely traumatizing, you feel all the things Binti does more strongly due to the emotions that comes through in Robin Miles' voice. A testament to her skill. I was excited to continue on, and finish, this series before, but I'll definitely be doing it on audiobook going forward.
