Book description
The audiobook version of Reached doesn't just tell Cassia and Ky's story-it makes you feel the grit of Central City's streets under your feet and the cold rush of wind as Ky pilots his airship. Ally Condie's prose, already rich, comes alive through the narrator's voice, a perfect blend of weary resolve and quiet yearning that matches Cassia's undercover tension and Ky's restless courage. You hear the metallic clank of airship controls, the hushed urgency of whispered secrets in crowded markets, and the almost-silent ache in Ky's voice when he says, "I'm not lost." The narrator's pacing is masterful: slow, deliberate for Cassia's tense infiltration, then swift and soaring during Ky's aerial missions with Indie, making the vast, dangerous skies feel real. Xander's secret unfolds with a subtle shift in tone, a barely-there hesitation that makes you lean closer, just like Cassia does. You don't just hear the characters; you feel the weight of Cassia's hidden identity, the freedom of Ky's flight, the sharp sting of their separation. It's a soundtrack for heartbreak and hope, where every breath in the narration echoes the characters' own. The final moments aren't just heard-they're felt in your chest, a quiet, resonant hum that lingers long after the last word fades. This isn't just listening; it's stepping inside the story, where every sound, every pause, deepens the connection to Cassia and Ky's desperate, beautiful fight to find each other again.

A functional audiobook production that met basic requirements. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough to listen to for extended periods, though their performance didn't add much interpretation to the text. The audio engineering was competent without being remarkable. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
