Book description
The audiobook version of Silverborn doesn't just tell Morrigan Crow's story-it pulls you into the very shadows of Nevermoor. Jessica Townsend's prose, already rich with gothic texture, becomes even more unsettling when voiced. Imagine the creak of old gilded doors in the Silver District, the hushed whispers of secrets buried deep, and the sharp, metallic scent of blood pooling on marble-this narration makes it all feel terrifyingly real. Robin Stevens called the series "marvellous and magical," but Silverborn leans into the darkness, where magic feels dangerous, friendships are tested, and every gleaming facade hides a rotting core.
Morrigan's journey here is a slow, suffocating descent. Invited to the opulent Silver District, she's lured by the promise of answers about her past, only to find a murder investigation unfolding beneath a white wedding canopy. A golden dragon glints in the candlelight, but the true horror is the red pool of blood she discovers-a detail the audiobook's tense pacing makes you hear, not just read. Her struggle with burgeoning Wundersmith powers feels heavier, more isolating, as she hides a secret that could shatter her closest bonds. The narrator captures her fear perfectly-the tightness in her throat, the way she listens too intently for footsteps in empty halls.
What elevates this audiobook is how it amplifies the series' signature dread. The city itself feels alive and watchful, its magic humming with menace. Every clue, every shadowy figure lurking in the Silver District's grandeur, is underscored by the voice actor's subtle shifts in tone-whispers that sound like secrets, pauses that stretch like a held breath. You're not just hearing a story; you're caught in the same web of suspicion as Morrigan, racing against the clock (and the ever-approaching midnight) to solve a mystery that could unravel her life.
Townsend masterfully balances the series' whimsy with a deeper, more unsettling truth: the most dangerous secrets aren't buried in the past, but held close, threatening to break the present. The Waterstones Prize-winning series' film adaptation is coming, but for now, this audiobook is the perfect, chilling companion. It's not just a book to listen to-it's a place you step into, heart pounding, as the shadows begin to move. And you won't want to step back out until the last, terrible truth is revealed.
