Publisher's Summary
The Wretched of Muirwood, the opening novel in the Muirwood Trilogy, is the tale of the orphan Lia - who is part of a pariah caste known only as the "wretched", a people unloved, unwanted, and destined to a life of servitude. Forbidden to read or write, and forced to slave away in the Abbey kitchen, Lia is all but resigned to her fate. But when an injured squire named Colvin is abandoned at the Abbey kitchen, opportunity arises, and Lia conspires to hide Colvin and change her life forever.…
Her plan becomes a perilous one when a nefarious sheriff starts a manhunt for Colvin, and the land is torn by a treacherous war between a ruthless king and a rebel army. Ominous and illuminating, Lia sets out on an epic quest for freedom with hopes to unravel the secrets of her concealed past.

"Nice Surprise from Unknown Author"
I wasn't sure what to expect when picking out this book, and was pleasantly surprised with an engaging listen - follows the story of an orphan kitchen girl as she helps an unknown knight.
Nice, strong girl lead, characters a bit cardboard cut-outs- act asone would expect - the shy sidekick, the wise leader, the fiesty girl, the rough on the outside, tender on the inside cook. But the plot and premise is original.
A good listen, and I bought the following one in the series.2 of 2 people found this review helpful -
"Was this a YA book?"
If you could sum up The Wretched of Muirwood in three words, what would they be?Not too bad
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?I am not an author and take their books at face value.
What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?It was very well read.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I did not.
Any additional comments?I kept thinking the story seemed a little basic or simplified which made me return to Amazon and search to find out if it was marketed as a young adult book.

"Average"
Any additional comments?I had high hopes after reading previous reviews. There was nothing special about this book, it was very average. It filled the time, but I found the main character pretty annoying at times. It is a coming of age story, however the young girl just comes off as a complaining winer rather than a woman trying to find herself. There were times when you just wanted to tell her to "shut up" :-X
I would move on. There is better stuff on Audible.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
