PROVENANCE

Narrator Adjoah Andoh creates a stunning tapestry of characters within the vast galaxy this audiobook spans. Her theater background allows her to give distinctive timbres and accents to every character, which helps to keep the large cast and complex story straight. Ingray Aughskold starts out as a young woman who is quite unsure of herself and her place in the world, but by the end of the story she knows exactly who she is and what she wants. Andoh is utterly convincing as Ingray blossoms into a confident, self-assured individual. While this novel is set in the same universe as the Imperial Radch series, it is a stand-alone that can be enjoyed on its own merits. K.M.P.
