The audiobook of The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, released on August 15, 2023, by Podium Audio
2. Vocalizing the "Other": Oraya and the Tone of Isolation A central tension in Broadbent’s novel is Oraya’s status as a human in a world of vampires. In the text, her "otherness" is conveyed through descriptions of her vulnerability and the reactions of those around her. In the audiobook, however, this isolation is embedded in the narrator’s voice. Amanda Leigh utilizes a hardened, cynical tone for Oraya, creating a vocal mask that cracks only during moments of extreme stress or intimacy.

In Chapter 7 (the first Kejari test, featuring a labyrinth with a flesh-eating monster), Cobb’s narration undergoes a radical transformation. She abandons “neutral narrator” distance and adopts a near-whispered, rapid-fire delivery, with aspirated breath sounds left unmuted. The effect is claustrophobic. Listeners report (via Goodreads and Audible reviews) physical symptoms—increased heart rate, shallow breathing—that print readers rarely mention. The audiobook, here, becomes somatic literature.
