"...it has a subtextual depth that rivals that of Tolkien’s middle earth and the immersion readers get reading it. Harlem Queen is everything an armchair historian looks for in a historical fiction piece without substituting conflict for easter eggs and historical fan service. Harlem Queen does what any good historical story should achieve at some level: get people interested in the period or person they’re dramatizing. It dips in places in terms of technical quality, but that’s true of a lot of independent audio dramas."

"The voice actors are all very talented. I don't know if they are professionals or not, but they certainly sound professional. Harlem Queen is another great historical fiction audio drama, and you should listen to it as soon as possible. You can binge the whole thing in about three hours. Though, fair warning, after that you'll be hungry for more."
