From Blood and Ash Audiobook— narrated by Stina Nielsen
AudioFile Earphones Award
Jennifer L. Armentrout launches the Blood and Ash series with Poppy, a cloistered Maiden bound for a sacred Ascension, and Hawke, the guard sworn to protect her and slowly impossible for her to resist.
Why the audiobook wins
Stina Nielsen doesn't just read Poppy's story, she performs the tension underneath it: the breathless, guarded voice of a girl who's never been allowed her own body, set against the low, teasing register she finds for Hawke, the guard testing that boundary. Nielsen shifts between them so cleanly that the forbidden-touch premise lands as something physical, not just plotted, which is exactly what earned her an AudioFile Earphones Award.
This is a nineteen-hour-plus listen built for total immersion, the kind of audiobook you queue up for a long drive or a chores-heavy weekend. Nielsen's range carries the Rite ceremonies and court intrigue as easily as the slow-burn scenes, so Poppy's world never feels like exposition you're waiting through.
An Earphones Award is AudioFile's word that a narrator elevated the material, and Nielsen is a big reason listeners say they heard this series before they read it. One credit gets you the whole nineteen hours, accent work and all.
