Publisher's summary

Kay’s life is pretty boring. She goes to school, spends quiet evenings at home with her foster mom, and has the occasional brush with mischief thanks to her best and only friend Will. But everything is about to change.

One night, Kay tags along on another one of Will’s adventures, and they both end up recruited by a talking fox to become Netherjacks, protectors of all the worlds. Once they arrive at the training academy, though, Will is paired with a legendary Netherwing mount and quickly rises in the trainee ranks, leaving Kay behind with barely a glance.

Kay has a decision to make - go home, and forget all about Netherjacks and Will, or stay and throw herself into training. With the help of her squadronmates and her Netherwing Nax, Kay just might discover that she’s more than just Will’s friend - she could be a leader. A hero. A Netherjack.

And the world will need her skills when a long-dormant enemy returns to wreak havoc on the whole universe…

Loved it!

I must confess that I'm in my 30's and I still really enjoyed this audiobook. Bahni Turpin is an excellent narrator. She voices the various characters well; the voices blend well with how I envision the characters in my head.
I love this world that Django Wexler had created. I think this book has potential to become a wonderful series. The characters are likable and interesting. I am looking forward to the next audiobook!

Never listened to a better juvenile adult book!

Django Wexler is a talent that can create a young people’s story that speaks a few good truths to the ‘adult’ crowd. Bahni Turpin makes it all come to life so everyone enjoys the book. Will wait impatiently for the next installment. (The heroine has blood in her eye and revenge in her heart.)

Pleasant

Seems like a young adult Sci Fi story. But it has depth, and is enjoyable to the end.
Well read by Bahni Turin.

I thought it was wonderful.

That was very original and exciting. I loved how it started, a silly boy and his imagination. And then , it got very sad, then really exciting. The characters were fun loving kids. They sure learned fast. I will definitely look for more.

Great Story

The kids loved it. We want more. The characters were great. Some motivations of different characters were unclear. It was still a fun, engaging story with good production.

Very Engaging

We all enjoyed it so much. Listened to it as we were driving to and from activities. Kids 6 and 9, me included, were so engaged in the story we didn't want to leave the car when we reached our destinations. Definately our favorite so far this year.

Netherwings

I love the story, but it started the action very early. If you don't like gore detail, skip chapter 26 LOL. Also, there is a character called Leara (sorry if I'm spelling it wrong) who uses they/them pronouns and sometime it said 'she' when I think it meant 'they'.

Overall, nice story.

An enjoyable listen that is included in my membership

I really liked the narrator’s voice, soothing and strongly enunciated.

The story itself is a little plodding and predictable, which is actually perfect for a casual listen while I’m doing other things. If I zone out for a section, I still know exactly what’s happening.

Thank you to the author and narrator for an enjoyable audiobook! Keep up the great work!

Too scary

A good story that got more and more violent and killed off one of the main characters making my kids, 8 & 12, cry.

Beautiful coming of age story

This book really took me by surprise, in the best way possible. I wasn’t sure if I had enough invested interest in the characters K and Will. I soon came to love and root for the protagonist K. Whilst I never warmed to Will even after his redemption at the end, I absolutely fell in love with K’s group of wonderfully diverse and intriguing friends. The story managed to mix magic and adventure with modern day life seamlessly. At its heart this story was very much about the development of the characters and their relationships with one another. I also love that this is the type of book that is relevant and enjoyable for young to old. I am eagerly awaiting a sequel.
