Tread of Angels By: Rebecca Roanhorse Narrated by: Dion Graham Length: Not Yet Known Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 11-15-22 Language: English Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Dion Graham could read me the phone book. Hell, he could read me any book, cereal box, or even Ikea instructions. The man's voice is liquid gold. He does an amazing job narrating Tread of Angels. So many different types of voices, angels, demons, elect, Virtues, Fallen, and the main characters. Mr. Graham creates them all. It was easy to know who was speaking because the voices he creates are unique. Now that I am done fangirling, let's discuss the book.
I have read two other fantastic books by Rebecca Roanhorse and this one did not disappoint. The world-building is amazing. This is not a long book but it manages to create a whole world, populated with unique characters, and leave me wanting more. The time period is 1883 and the location is the West. The ones who live there are descended from the Great Battle between the Angels and the Demons. Take that crazy world building and add a murder mystery, which I did not get until the book solved it. I came away from the book thinking about people I know like Celeste and feeling profoundly sad for them. I hope this is the start of a new series. There is so much richness in this short novel. I would like to see more. I received a copy of the audiobook from Simon & Schuster. After listening to it attentively, I wrote an honest review.
