I don't have time to sit and read, but I have plenty of time to sit and listen! :)
"Excellent Series"
A very good series that has a spin that keeps you coming back for more.
Once again the dialog between characters was difficult as it seemed they never get to the point but continue to talk in circles like everyone assumes everyone knows what is going on. Other than that I found the book delightful.
Wendy is faced with the loss of her mother, the overbearing force of her farther killing off her kingdom and trying to please people who have no faith in her. Making sacrifices is not easy when the mass is not on her side. But running away is not an option anymore and she tries to figure out how to save her kingdom without the loss of life to her people.
"Wonderful Ending"
Yes. The Trylle Trilogy was incredible. Amanda really knows how to captivate those who love phantasy stories. I could not wait to listen to the the last book of the serie. The three books were wonderfully written and captivate you. The ending was amazing.
It was when Wendy finally admits loving Loki and spends the night with Loki during a time of a lot despair.
Yes. Is listened to Torn. In both cases the performance was excellent. It was the best performance from the books I heard so far.
Yes
I love listening to audio books. I started as a way to ease my long commute. Now I listen on my commute, cleaning the house, working in the yard, whenever and wherever I find time to myself.
"Great Series"
I was surprised at how much I liked this series. I picked the first book out just browsing for something to listen to. I enjoyed it so much I ordered the rest of the trilogy and listened to the whole series very quickly. Therese Plummer did a great job with the narration.
Love this site! I have a very busy job, so listening to audio books enables me to keep up on great stories!
"Good girl Wendy! I now love you."
I would. It's a great story about love, sacrifice, duty, honor. I love the happily ever after of course.
Wendy steps up her game, finally! She puts her kingdom first, good girl. She manages to be a good Queen, a fierce warrior, and get the man she wants in the end. Oh and stop a brutal war.
She does a great job!
Yes it was!
Happily ever after works for me!

"Good Story.....but you need the series...."
I loved this story....a good series for younger readers as well as adults. I would recommend to anyone that likes a little of the mythical mixed with the 'real' world.
"Poor Character Development"
It was ok. The narration was good, but the story lacked the character development to really keep my interest.
Good narration.
I absolutely love audible! I read constantly and there is nothing better than finding a new series to follow. I'm a syfy/fant kinda gal.
"Good ending to a good series!"
Yes, I prefer audible versions to the print versions 98% of the time. I enjoyed the narrator in all of the books.
The confrontation was the most memorable moment. It was both climatic and fulfilling to the reader.
I have listened to all of this series books with Ms. Plummer's narration. She has mastered the voices in this series very well.
GOOD VS EVIL; AN EPIC BATTLE.
This was a great ending to the series. I read through all of the books within two weeks and am satisfied with the outcome. Good read.
"love this series"
It was engaging from the very beginning
The other Torn series
Her dramatization was very good. Felt like i was actually listening to the real characters speak.
yes.
"Awesome Trilogy!!!!"
The Trylle Trilogy, Switched, Torn and Ascend. I loved the series so much I couldn't wait for the order to come in at our library where I'm a librarian so i downloaded it as soon as I could because I wanted to know what was going to happen
Wendy Everly, Loki, Finn, Willa and how could I forget Duncan he was a bit of a dork but he had a big heart. So as you can tell I can't find just one character as my favorite.
Very good expression and emotion.
When Wendy's mother Told her that she loves her and is proud of her? And then her mother sadly passes away.I hope I don't give to much away
Read the books I promise You won't regret it!
"Worth the time"
No, not better, but audio is the only way that I get to keep up with my reading. I read, or listen to, about 2 books per week. Without audio books it would be one a month.
Yes
