Original and Cozy...Like an Autumn Read

Sophisticated fantasy/magic and mystery storyline based on an old fairytale. Probably would have never known about it had it not been offered first as a free chapter. I listened to the chapter and immediately bought the book afterwards. Solid writing throughout, and kept my attention. Worth a credit.

Very realistic, yet imaginative

I really like how the mother and daughter interact. The daughter is a typical teen, but with a lot of imagination. The narrative is very descriptive and flows well. One of the better free samples. It really makes me want to hear more!

An excellent book!

Loved it! It was very entertaining. I can't wait to read the entire book. I wish it would go on sale.

Not Convinced

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes - I appreciated that I got a full chapter, 20 minutes instead of 5. Unfortunatly for the author and narrator, it convinced me that it wasn't for me.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Change the voice of the winny daugher!

What aspect of Jen Taylor’s performance would you have changed?

Change the voice of the winny daugher!

Did Arcadia Falls: Free First Chapter inspire you to do anything?

It inspired me to move on and look for a different book.

Any additional comments?

I don't want to rate it too hard, I think it just wasn't a good fit for me. I think this is geared more towards women...

A fall of a teaser

This is a very short teaser for the rest of the story . It gives you a teaser lets you listen to the first chapter . Right when you get into it , it ends .
