WHAT LISTENERS ARE SAYING
While Dornet delivers Avery's curiosity and unbending character with grace. I advise giving in and binge-listening to this audible treat.
Audiofile Magazine
The way Amanda gave life to all these different characters, the way they speak and act, just made the story all the more interesting. Her voice helped me get immersed in the story even more as a reader. Not only does she sound really nice, she made the story even more engaging than it already is. When she changes her voice to switch to a new character, it's a wonder how she's able to give life and emotions to so many different people, to sound distinctly different each time she lends her voice to another person. Oftentimes, I'm in awe.

Review of Crewel (Crewel World #1) by Gennifer Albin
Narrator Amanda Dolan delivers diverse voices without losing momentum, and the power of her performance is intense.
Audiofile magazine
Review of The Small Backs of Children by Lidia Yuknavitch
Narrator Amanda Dolan uses strong, modulated tones to convey Mare's long-held disdain of the Silvers, who use their powers to subjugate the Reds. When Mare's life is threatened, she's thrust into into several deadly plots and deceptions. Dolan narrates significant secondary characters with varied inflections, leading listeners to specific conclusions — until a shocking betrayal leaves Mare confronting the unknown.
