AN EMBROIDERY OF SOULS

Listeners will be drawn into this audiobook through the dual narration of Carla Corvo and Nick Trengove, who bring Jade Aguilar and Lukas Keller to life in their magical Queendom of Mérecal. Corvo delivers a reserved yet emotive performance that mirrors Jade's uncertainty and quiet strength as she navigates a treacherous royal court and a dangerous underworld in an effort to save her mother. Trengove infuses Lukas with desperation and grit, his voice capturing every flicker of tension and longing. Together, the narrators weave a layered, emotionally charged listen that enhances the gothic-inspired story's blend of mystery, fantasy, and romance in a world that combines Mexican and German lore. The vivid soundscape and contrasting performances make this an immersive and memorable experience for listeners. K.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2025]
