Robin Miles returns to narrate Book 2 in N.K. Jemisin’s Great Cities series, and she gives listeners a masterful performance. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Emily Connelly discuss this multidimensional battle between good and evil, continuing the story from THE CITY WE BECAME. The avatars of New York City and its boroughs are fighting for their right to exist—and for the fate of their multiverse. Miles transforms into the essence of each of the boroughs and the city itself, making each one vibrant and distinctive. Smart use of technical effects makes the invading city of R’lyeh sound alien and unnatural. A listen that will linger in your mind.
