Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Scorpio Races to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version. The audio edition was outstanding due to the amazing voice work of the narrators.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything. Exceptionally well-written. The prose was almost lyrical at times in its use of language. Exceptionally good development of Puck, Sean, Corr, Dove and the island of Thisby. I felt like I was there living the story.

What about Steve West and Fiona Hardingham ’s performance did you like?

It was perfect for the characters and drew me in completely.

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

Too many to note, although the ending was exceptionally moving with Sean and Corr.

Any additional comments?

Can not recommend this highly enough to anyone who loves a good, well-written story--especially one involving horses. Somewhat took me back to my childhood of getting lost in the Black Stallion series.

Loved it! The audio book goes between 2 main characters Sean and Puck. The narration sucks you in and paints vivid pictures of the where's, why's, and when's of the story. Loved the voices in the narration as well. Very well written story. It's a keeper to read again.

They helped bring this story to life so much more than when I read the story myself. While reading the story it took much longer for me to get into it, but these narrators are incredible! I really enjoyed listening and picked up on quite a few things I missed while reading it the first time.

I want more from these narrators!

I loved this audible book. I found the story mesmerizing, found myself driving several miles further than needed in order to reach a suitable stopping point within the story and longing for the work day to end in order to pick up where I had left off. I could smell and feel the brine of the ocean and the bitter grip of the wind. Thank you for the beautiful narration that fit the characters of Puck and Sean so well. One of the best stories I have had the discovery of finding in a very long time and one I will return to, time and again.

Loved it - the backdrop of the island and all its people is painted vividly for the reader. The myth of the waterhorses retold in a way with more authenticity. Beautiful story...

Excellent story!

Engaging story; great narration!
Please take my review as I want to write it and don't insist on more words, or I won't want to write anything next time

Hard to stop listening!

This book captured my interest and drew me into the story right from the start. The performance by both Steve West and Fiona Hardingham was excellent and the accents brought you to the little island of Thisby, where the mysterious water horses were loved and feared. Maggie Stiefvater did a spectacular job developing the two main characters and the slow (put just right) development of their relationship. I just wish there was a sequel and didn't want the story to end!

Completely Engulfed!

I was very surprised by the beauty of the story and the narrative. This is exactly the kind of book I hope to stumble across. Compelling and original, this story swept me to an island of interesting characters. I loved Puck. She is brave and honest. This will become a classic and be shared with friends and family. Fabulous storytelling. Bravo!!!

Stunningly beautiful

amazing book

I am blown away by this book. It captures you and envelops you just like the sea would. My heart raced and slowed and soared with the twists and turns. The stakes were as real to me as to the characters. The only thing I have to say in protest is that there will never be another book like this. And no sequel. Read it. Love it. Join in the races.

There aren’t words…. AMAZING
