    "Great new writer, Great new world!"
    Where does Seraphina rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Very, very high. I mostly get books I've already read, this was one of the minority that I had never read. Excellent plot, likable characters, and it certainly creates a hunger for the next book! I can't wait.


    Have you listened to any of Mandy Williams and Justine Eyre ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I found this book by originally searching for Justine Eyre. She has a very small part in this book, and Mandy Williams does a great job narrating the larger part


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    What lies under your skin?

    Any additional comments?

    Well written, well plotted, amazing characters and very well read, definitely worthwhile!

    Seraphina is a fantastic and flawed character and is surrounded by a number of others. The villain to the story was relatively easy to guess but the story isn't really intended as a murder mystery.

    What did you love best about Seraphina?

    The world


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Seraphina?

    When she first remembers. The last talk with Lucien.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    No, in the middle was a bit slow, the second part is better!


    Any additional comments?

    Its a great story, but I like more romance developing. The best part is the magic world it sets in. She is clever, but she makes dumb decisions...

    "EveryFlavorBean that didn't taste like earwax."
    What made the experience of listening to Seraphina the most enjoyable?

    I did not get bored and the story was not foolishly predictable. Searching for a new author and new book is like eating everyflavorbeans, sometimes you get something good but alot of times you get earwax. This story was hot chocolate.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Seraphina?

    The battle between Phina's uncle and grandfather. Fruitbat was like a little half dragon Ninja.


    Have you listened to any of Mandy Williams and Justine Eyre ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    I am looking forward to the next book.

    "Best listen of the year!"
    Where does Seraphina rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Definitely one of the best books I've listened to all year, the narrator was great and the story was fresh and new.


    Which character – as performed by Mandy Williams and Justine Eyre – was your favorite?

    I liked the uncle the best, he was very dry and witty which I guess is common for a Dragon in Seraphina's world.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    If I had the time, sure! I listened to it over about 3 days while doing a bunch of filing at work, and it's pretty much the only thing that kept me sane during that time.

    "Wonderful Story"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Seraphina to be better than the print version?

    I have not read the print version but now that I have heard the audio edition, I would probably just listen to it again instead of reading the book.


    What other book might you compare Seraphina to and why?

    Seraphina make me think of Kristin Cashore's books, Graceling and Fire, as they are also about a young woman with special abilities living at a palace and taking part in secretive, covert affairs.


    Which character – as performed by Mandy Williams and Justine Eyre – was your favorite?

    I liked all the characters. Mandy Williams has a nice and interesting voice that is great for performing books.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    I try to pace myself with audiobooks to make them last, but there were definitely times that I listened for an extra long time because I couldn't stop and had to find out what happened next.

    The story is brilliant. It's exactly what I look for in fantasy. Original and captivating I loved it to pieces.
    The narrator did a great job. Very very happy about this book. I can't wait for the next.

    "One of my best listens of 2012"

    I didn't realize this was a children's book until I was 1/2 through and I searched online for other similar books to read (because I was already worried about the separation anxiety I would experience when I finished it). This isn't just a well written story - it has depth and emotional complexity. I would say its in my top three books of the year (and I'm at 76 right now). I'm hoping for more from Seraphina by the same readers!
