Resumen del Editor

Enter a world of fairies, dragons, dwarves, and elves in The Land of Flames, a magical world where the possibilities are endless and truth makes a difference.

Ocamar, the villainous dragon king, and his dragon clan, have overtaken The Land of Serenity and everyone in the land is in jeopardy. The only hope seems to be with Rumbleflin, the oldest and wisest of the elves, who plans to lead an army rebellion.

To add to the conflict, Ocamar and Rumbleflin have been harboring secrets from one another for years, and what happens when those secrets are revealed will have a major impact on everyone.

Can an army of fairy-tale creatures defeat a clan of dragons and restore their Land of Serenity?

I really enjoyed the way that the story flowed. I was engaged every step of the way. The ending provided me with a cliff hanger that makes me want to listen to book two right now.

great story, my boys loved it

What made the experience of listening to The Land of Flames the most enjoyable?

My boys laughed several times at the characters and their witty/funny charms.

Have you listened to any of TK Kellman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I loved the narrator voice. It reminded me at times of Morgan Freeman. The only thing I didn't care for was the way he did Karini (the main fairy)'s voice. It was such a high falsetto, it sounded like he was attempting to be funny, even in parts when the storyline wasn't comical. But for my boys, it just added to the joy of listening to it. I also thought some of the special sound effects were very well done.

Any additional comments?

This was our second fantasy by Cynthia P Willow. I listened to the audio version in the car with my boys. The characters were very memorable, and my children laughed just about every time we had it on. They also have gotten into imaginative play based on the characters of the story. They are already begging for the sequel.

As a mom, I loved how excited my kids were about this story. Way to go, Cynthia P. Willow. Thanks for giving my kids something to spark their imaginations!

Fire is no friend

By names, voice and direct explanation, it is really easy to figure who the good guys are. My own theory, based on the size of the world, is that the dragons are really dragonflies, also that guess would require some small unicorns and skunks. The book makes a good preparation for tackling those big kid magic books, the ones about Harry. I am surprised at the cavalier approach to death, so minus a star.

An entertaining & wonderful world comes alive...

What made the experience of listening to The Land of Flames the most enjoyable?

Apart from the amazing story, I love the way it is narrated, it seems every character came alive.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Land of Flames?

When Lamek turns against Ocmar for his love, it shows the strength of love :)

Have you listened to any of TK Kellman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was the first time, I heard TK Kellman's fantastic narration.

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

Instead of listening it at one go, I would love to break it into small parts, so that each part would be savored at most.

Any additional comments?

I would be looking forward to have more books from Cynthia :)
