Reseñas de la Crítica

Knabe’s dystopian novel is exciting and well-paced. ...the fantastical universe won't fail to engage. Knabe’s prose is accessible and lighthearted, enhancing the reading experience. This novel is a unique tale about the coexistence of fae creatures in a human world. The author offers a new interpretation of fantasy conventions. (Critic’s Report, The BookLife Prize)

Fae and human acceptance story.

Prepare to have your mind opened and have to think about Fae integration in a new way. Opening up the world and forcibly adding magic to it. Overall, it's a good story. I would have liked to see much more world building. The characters are well developed, but I feel kinda wanting when it comes to the rest of the world as a whole.

Good narration, I had to speed it to x1.2 because it was a slower story for me.

I was given this book at my request for an honest review.

NARRATORS ARE GOOD AND EASY TO FOLLOW

Distopian Fae

At times the story felt more like social commentary about the environment. I didn't get an overall light-hearted vibe, but there were a few humorous parts. The story had a new take on the way Fae and humans coexist. I liked the variety of Fae creatures included, and the secrets uncovered as the mystery evolved.

Oliver Wyman narrated the story. His performance was great, and I always knew who was speaking since he gave each character a different voice.

Dark nature, dark fae 😮

Excellent world building, excellent narration. Yes, it will make to think about the power of Nature.

I want to hang out with the dryads

With a fascinating storyline that delves into relevant societal and ecological problems, The Fae Conspiracy by Keven Knabe is a one-of-a-kind Urban Fantasy read. The relatable characters and vivid setting will captivate readers from start to finish. So dive into this fantastic tale and see for yourself! *Do be aware, the book does contain some strong language.

A complex urban fantasy

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is and honest review. Nicely narrated by Oliver Wyman, The Fae Conspiracy is a quirky, intense urban fantasy that contemplates how humanity would handle if they suddenly discovered the mythical and creatures were actually real. And while plenty embraces the weird complex relationships that come with those unique creatures; others aren't so sure if down right cruel. And what happens to Tanin comes to demonstrate that even the magical creatures have their own vices and dangers that are catastrophic if allowed to exist. One issue is I felt the story runs a little long and could have wrapped much sooner; but an interesting adventure to be sure.

A New Perspective on Fae

This was my first experience with Kevin Knabe's work, and it was interesting. I liked the fresh perspective towards those paranormal creatures that are known as Fae. I admired the symbolism and environmental themes that were found in this tale. I got a little lost during all the changing characters' narratives. Oliver Wyman's narration was good, and I enjoyed the different voices that he provided for the various characters. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Fae Magic versus recycling

A complex story of fae magick, Mother Nature, and destiny. Tanin is a dryad whose job is to infuse fae magick into the world to heal Mother Nature. However, something changes, and Tanin has new powers that expose the lies and truths of the elder dryads who work for Newgrowth. Truths that hold deadly consequences at least for Chicago!

The author, Kevin Knabe, weaves a complex story with unique characters. The storyline clearly focuses on the environment and why we should be more diligent in protecting the earth blending the tale with myth and fantasy-based characters and behaviors. Tanin and Tuan are the two main characters, and it is their connection and needs for one another that reveals the hidden truth of Newgrowth. The coexistence of fae and humans is nicely done as well. Knabe has masterfully crafted a tale utilizing several different genres – fantasy, myth/legend, environmentalism, and adventure. He does so artfully and successfully.

The narrator, Oliver Wyman performs this book with a strong steady pace moving the story forward. He brings the book to life and adds to the excitement of the adventure. He spoke clearly and concisely with unique voices for all.
Overall, this is a great listen as it has so much adventure and action. However, one must pay attention to the details, or one can be lost for a moment or two.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Great read

This book was written very well, I really enjoyed the storyline! It was very easy to follow and understand what was going on. Also a unique storyline, which made it even more enjoyable. The narrator was great too, easy to understand and fun to listen to. Excited to hear more from this fae world.

Not for me

This one’s not for me.
2 stars however I do like the narration.
The storyline just didn’t hold me interest.
I wouldn’t mind hearing this narrator again.
