Nice!

This is actually my first ever audible book… the narrator did a good job reading this story. The story is well written and very detailed i can actually see it in front of me… currently at chapter 9 and i have to say, im glad I decided to try audible. Very funny and great story so far.

3 star listen

This book was really odd, I did enjoy it tho.
3 star listen,
I enjoyed the epilogue, it goes back through the story and reiterates what’s happened.

Fantasy telling of the little folk
Gifted audio in exchange for an honest review

It took me a while to complete this book but I got through it.

Wow, that’s a good book

For a first time author, that was a great read. There were some parts that you really had to think about, but the story line and the characters were very well thought through. Honestly, at the beginning I was a little off by the abstract version of drama, but after that, it opened things up and really tied everything together. With this being a first book of the series, as a reader, could the either look more into giving some back history on some of the characters and give some raw success for them? Back story is always key to books like these, but overall, wow. That’s a great book to read and to learn that the author is a first time publisher, really shows the books equivalent nature for the success of the content. Give us more!!

great book

not a man of many words, don't have time to be. This book was worth every spare minute I had, the characters and story line were pretty imaginative. It kept my attention which isn't something many books do. I find Axel pretty relatable, can't wait for the next book.

Fantastic Book

The author spins a new and exciting fantasy tale with a fresh spin. Sprock weaves a tapestry of interesting and engaging characters with verve and imagination while avoiding trope. The story is certainly worth a read and is a welcome breath of air in a genre that can seem to be choked with ponderous and repetitive stories. Her take on the hero's journey is new, exciting and very well written and her writing style allows a reader to get lost in the story and makes it impossible to put down. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel which I am sure her many fans will soon be demanding.
