Review: Pastel Pink by Nikki Minty, narrated by Khristine Hvam, Jodie Harris, and James Patrick Cronin
Pastel Pink is the first book in The Zadok Series by rising author Nikki Minty. First of all, I need to tell you that this saga is targeting young adults and combines beautifully written fantasy with captivating magical realism.
If you want to learn more about the story, I suggest you read the Publisher’s Summary, but I think that it gives away too much of the plot and you know that I never put spoilers in my reviews.
What I can tell you is that this novel features some really interesting characters and their lives on two different planets: those who die on Earth are born again on Zadok, which is a completely new and fascinating world based on a race caste color system.
The audiobook version of Pastel Pink is exquisitely brought to life by three extremely talented voiceover artists. Khristine Hvam is an award-winning audiobook narrator, producer, director, and voice-over actress. Jodie Harris is an Australian actress, singer, voice artist, audiobook narrator and singing teacher, while James Patrick Cronin is an award winning American audiobook narrator and stage actor.
Each of them are doing their best in order to bring all these fascinating characters and the two worlds to life. Three different narrators means that the listener will find it easier to differentiate between characters and also gives this story a more immersive setting. The narrative experience is top-notch and the production is perfect.
Pastel Pink is well written, fast paced, intriguing, thrilling, filled with emotion and highly entertaining. If you like YA Fantasy featuring colorful characters and a vivid world, you will love Pastel Pink by Nikki Minty. I plan to return to this captivating series as soon as possible and I’ll be sure to post reviews for the next audiobooks in this extremely promising saga!
