    Aided by the powerful magic of Vagel, the evil Arch-Imager, the merciless armies are marching against the kingdom of Mordant. In its hour of greatest need, two unlikely champions emerge. One is Geraden, whose inability to master the simplest skills of Imagery has made him a laughingstock. The other is Terisa Morgan, transferred to Mordant from a Manhattan apartment by Geraden’s faulty magic. Together, Geraden and Terisa discover undreamed-of talents within themselves—talents that make them more than a match for any Imager... including Vagel himself. Unfortunately, those talents also mark them for death.

    Story
    Would you listen to A Man Rides Through again? Why?

    Yes...to catch all the little things ....it is so interesting and entertaining. Several points in this second part....I cried. It was so moving...and not always in a good way...sorrow...pain...betrayal...self doubt...


    What other book might you compare A Man Rides Through to and why?

    Wow...hard one. I would have to say....Terry Goodkind series The sword of Truth...just not so many in a series and sweeter...not so depressing. Good VS Evil....Self discovery and the awkardness of a sexual pull to someone who is not good for you....and pulling away before you do something to hate yourself over!!


    What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I have read the books...I actually own the books...I actually own all books that I buy with Audio...because If I really love a book...I want to also listen to it. The Auditor Scott Brick brings a deeper character to the book. He makes the People in the book come alive and has me review the way I was picturing them because of the nuance in the voices of the characters.


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

    Yes


    Any additional comments?

    It was well worth the credit....but you have to get the first one Mirror of Her dreams or this one will not make sense....It make the story line flow with out a great repeat of what happened in the first book.

    The daughter of rich but neglectful parents, Terisa Morgan lives alone in a New York City apartment, a young woman who has grown to doubt her own existence. Surrounded by the flat reassurance of mirrors, she leads an unfulfilled life - until the night a strange man named Geraden comes crashing through one of her mirrors, on a quest to find a champion to save his kingdom of Mordant from a pervasive evil that threatens the land.

    What did you love best about The Mirror of Her Dreams?

    It has a theme of Romance running thru...it is about a young woman who finally discovers who she is.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The plot....the way Donaldson draws you in to a new world and the intricate plots and twists.


    Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

    He did a great job..


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When King Joyce finally admited what he had done...why he had done it...and the pain and joy actually made me cry at the moment. (oops...second book) Ok on this one....The heartbreak.... the way Teresa made a choice to be loyal...to follow and TRUST the one person who had been by her side. Everyone one else at this point had left her...as it had all of her life...


    Any additional comments?

    This is a two book series. You must get the other one....This was well worth the credit paid...Very much so...and the speaker...great!!

    When it comes to the holidays, no story brings us back to the true spirit of giving like O. Henry’s classic "The Gift of the Magi". So this year we’ve asked some of your favorite Audible narrators—Audie Award winners Katherine Kellgren, Oliver Wyman, and Jonathan Davis—to bring to life this timeless tale, plus two more of O. Henry’s gems: "The Cop and the Anthem" and "The Last Leaf", in this holiday collection.

    A lot of businessess cow down to the many who enjoy the holiday of Christmas but forget the meaning. This nation was founded BECAUSE our forefathers and mothers wanted the right to worship freely and not be ashamed or killed. I am proud that Audible offered this gift to their customers. It is something I can enjoy. Merry CHRISTmas to all.
