Leading the charge is Alix E. Harrow's latest, a time-bending tale featuring a conflicted knight and a modern-day historian. Hardy, who experienced the book both in print and audio, praises the audiobook for its enhanced storytelling. The narrative revolves around Sir Una, a legendary knight destined for sacrifice, and Owen, a historian sent back in time to ensure Una fulfills her destiny for the betterment of the future. However, as Owen repeatedly witnesses Una's death, his resolve to guide her towards her tragic fate weakens. Hardy specifically highlights a unique audio element: a distinct sound effect that accompanies a purposefully redacted name in the text, creating a surprising and immersive listening experience. The dual narration, featuring separate voices for Sir Una and Owen, further enriches the story, bringing their distinct perspectives to life.
