In a week of unpredictable weather, the chance to sit beneath a sun that never burns out feels like a small gift. Helios offers a moment of stillness, a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the star that sustains us, and a rare opportunity to see it in a way that feels both monumental and gentle. We give it a warm 4 out of 5!

Not everything lands perfectly. The audio is on the quiet side, and because you’re reading instructions while trying to listen, the experience leans more toward concentration than immersion. You’re aware of the mechanics even as you’re inside them. But the uniqueness of the setup; the handcrafted booth, the red phone, the thrill of speaking scripted words to someone you can’t see; still carries a certain magic. We give it a curious 3 out of 5!

The Valentina becomes a warm, funny, slightly dark cosmic daydream in audiobook form. With lively performances and Ellen’s boundless imagination at the centre, it plays like a bedtime story for older kids and adults: charming, whimsical, and full of heart.
