“Narrator January LaVoy’s performance is simply amazing…In a plot crowded with so many characters, LaVoy doesn’t utter a false note. Her vocal range is awe-inspiring, her characters are fully developed, and her voice is lovely. The divine duo of Libba Bray and January LaVoy does not disappoint. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
