Magic.

I’d already read Opal in ebook, but was thrilled to get an audio version of this short story. The charm of Will Patton’s narration adds a layer of enjoyment to the unfettered pleasure that is a Maggie Stiefvater read. This series is painfully good—one of my all time favorites, and I’m very much looking forward to Call Down the Hawk for more of the story.

That voice...

There is no one to compare with Will Patton's voice...sheets of liquid satin with sandpaper edges. Listening to him resonates in my soul and becomes a full body experience. His voice reading Maggie Stiefvater's words are what I want to hear as the last sound before sleep, each night or eternally .

I'd give it a 10 if I could

Will Patton is beyond talented. He brings an incredible sense of wonder and magic to this already wonderful, magical story.

so short???

is this even a "book"?
I would love to read more of Adam and Ronan, but this is hardly anything but the barest beginning of that.

Delightfully Delicious

I LOVED this alternate perspective!!! I loved this sassy rebelious curious little being and getting to know her inner most thoughts. I wanted MORE MORE MORE of this! And of course Will P's narration is beyond amazing as per ush.

Perfect addition to the Raven Cycle

This was a great continuation for the series. I love Will Patton's narration...it's actually the main thing that hooked me with The Raven Boys in the beginning. The more times I listen to the series, the better I understand it..the more I love it. This was my first time to listen to Opal. It made for an even better ending to the series... I'm glad that Maggie Stiefvater explored the orphan girl a bit more.

Brilliant

Will Patton channels Maggie Stiefvater’s rich and beautiful imagination. The Raven Cycle and the Dreamer books (two so far) are brilliant, as is their narration. I have listened to all of them multiple times and enjoy them more each time. This is a rare gift.

Such a cute story!

This is such a beautiful insight into little Opal’s mind and world and I enjoyed it immensely. It’s so adorable how much love she has for Adam and the story feels so warm and cosy with them all living life at the barns.

lovely novella

a beautiful glimpse into the lives of Opal, Ronan & Adam which sets up for the spin off series.

my main gripe was the availability and price of this. £8 on audible for a 1hr ish story because it wasn't available anywhere else in the UK? I'd rather have had a kindle copy.

I liked the performance when it was the narration part a lot, but the voices and accents for Ronan & Adam were irritating.

Witty and wonderful

The way Maggie writes always manages to take me to another world in as much as a blink. Will Patton makes it into a tangible thing, a truly incredible listen. Highly recommend this series, and Maggie Stiefwaters books! Thank you for creating such a masterpiece!
