SCAVENGE THE STARS

Narrator Maria Liatis immerses listeners in a gender-reversed retelling of the classic COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. It's a story packed with revenge, desperation, and conflicting loyalties. Amaya has escaped from a prison ship and is now ensconced in the mysterious city-state of Moray. Liatis's portrayal of Amaya allows listeners to feel instead of just hear her lust for retribution. The tone used to reflect Amaya's drive and dedication is seamless, and smooth transitions between male and female characters maintain clarity during the story's periodic shifts in point of view. From beginning to end, Liatis keeps listeners glued to their headphones as this epic story twists and turns. J.O. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2020]
