Behind the Mic: On The Will and the Wilds, Narrated by Angela Dawe

Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

A young woman has put her soul at risk by bargaining with a monster. AudioFile’s Emily Connelly tells host Jo Reed what impressed her about narrator Angela Dawe’s performance in this audiobook full of myth and magic. Enna has struck a deal with a creature, Maekallus, and when he fails in his mission and finds himself trapped in the human realm, their lives become even more intertwined. Dawe is able to draw listeners deep into a complex world and enlivens each character with unique voices, particularly the magical non-human creatures who lurk in the wildwood. She makes this listening experience as magical as the story itself.
