Book description
P. Djèlí Clark's voice work here feels like listening to a master storyteller gather kindling for a fire that will burn all night. The way he handles Abeni's initial confusion when the old woman spirits her away from the village destruction carries this perfect balance between terror and wonder. His reading of the cursed flute scene gives me actual chills every time. Something about how he modulates the sound when describing those burning blade warriors makes your skin crawl in the best possible way.
The apprenticeship scenes between Abeni and the forest witch crackle with this undercurrent of reluctant respect. Clark understands that the best fantasy moments happen in the spaces between what's said. When Abeni first encounters the spirit kids, his delivery shifts just enough to signal we're moving into different magical territory. Not the threatening power of the flute player or the harsh reality of village life, but something older and more complex.
What strikes me most is how Clark doesn't rush the emotional beats. The weight of Abeni losing everyone she loves isn't hurried through. It sits in your ears like stones. Then the forest scenes build this contrasting lightness that never feels dismissive of what came before. The relationship dynamics between apprentice and spirit companions develop naturally through his pacing choices.
This isn't just another coming-of-age fantasy. Clark's reading emphasizes the specificity of Abeni's world, her people, her particular kind of magic. The way he handles the old woman's warnings at the beginning creates this haunting quality that echoes through every subsequent scene. His voicing of the cursed music itself becomes almost hypnotic. You understand why everyone follows it even as you're hoping Abeni finds another path. The production quality lets every whispered warning and reluctant acceptance land clearly. This is audiobook storytelling that respects both the listener's intelligence and the story's emotional complexity.
