The House That Walked Between Worlds

Uncertain Sanctuary, Book 1

By: Jenny Schwartz

Narrated by: Tess Irondale

A tornado of chaos is tearing through Reality, and in its path is the newest House—a bleak and forbidding fortress built of magic and grief by the most unlikely of sorcerers—a human.

A reckless act of compassion costs Dr. Kira Aist her family and her future on Earth. To escape her enemies, she calls on her heritage as a descendant of Baba Yaga and walks between worlds.

As Kira roams the paths of Reality, strangers are drawn to her House. Some seek refuge, some seek power, and one just wants kitty treats.

With the fate of multiple worlds hanging in the balance, Kira must discover what it means to be a sorcerer and the keeper of a House.

The House That Walked Between Worlds is a compelling and original fantasy novel of multiple worlds and beguiling mystery in the tradition of Ursula Le Guin and Diana Wynne Jones.

Been looking…

I read this series a year or so past and have been looking for it since to have on audio!! So happy to finally have it and so well narrated too!

Fun fantasy with unique world building

Fun fantasy story with interesting worlds and characters. Well performed by reader. Interesting story. Creative.

Creativity

Like all the unique characters and world. Good combo of mostly fantasy with a little sci fi. Performance was mature and believable.

Love the start

I am really enjoying the start to this series. And doubly so thanks to the terrific narrator.

Good writing performed well

First the bad: This book lacks depth. That's it. that's the only thing I disliked. The book is pretty simple and doesn't really challenge the readers, but I don't think that was what it was going for. The book is fun, the setting is unique. There aren't any annoying characters that make me want to throw my phone.

Performance: Above average. A lot of voice actors just do silly accents (usually a sort of Irish/Scottish / Pirate slurry of languages) to differentiate characters. This VA sticks to a few and does them well.
