Isla F. · Jan 15, 2026 · Verified buyer★★★☆☆ Absolutely loved it
I picked this up on a whim and finished it in two sittings. The Copper Science of Bridges is warm, sharp and beautifully paced.
Alicia R. · Jun 7, 2026 · Verified buyer★★★★★ Worth every page
A thoughtful, well-crafted audiobook. The last third is the best thing I've read this year.
