Publisher's summary

Karigan G’ladheon, running away from school, is traveling through a deep forest when a galloping horse pounds up to her, its rider impaled by two black-shafted arrows. With his dying breath, he tells her he is a Green Rider, one of the magical messengers of the King. Before he dies, he makes Karigan swear to deliver the message he’s carrying, and gives her his green coat, with the symbolic brooch of his office.

Pursued by unknown assassins, following a path only her horse seems to know, Karigan becomes a legendary Green Rider—for when given to the right person, a Rider’s brooch awakens the magic inside.

Love the story, hate the narrator

Green Rider is one my favorite books. I’ve read it multiple times. I got this after listening to the sample because I know how much a narrator can bring to a story or take away from it. At first I was okay with her, but after listening to the whole book I was annoyed by her random accents that aren’t consistent for areas/societal station or even the same characters. And her singing voice drives me absolutely batty.

Great Adventure From Begining to End

Any additional comments?

This story was a great adventure. The narrator was excellent and made all the voices unique and very easy to follow along with. Strong female protagonist, a lot of action, a good mix of magic, great cast of characters. If you liked The Hunger Games, Green, and The Percy Jackson Series then you will definitely enjoy this series. Suitable for mid teens and older for violence and suggestive content.

Infectious

So beautifully written. Until you get to the sixth book, you will be absolutely hooked. The story is so visual, you will feel you are there.
