Reseñas de la Crítica

"Actress Trini Alvarado gives a performance consistent with her previous narrations in this series. She projects a youthful, but strong character for Alanna; this is her outstanding strength." (School Library Journal)

Made it through

This has always been my least favorite book in the song of the lioness. It's still good, but it just drags a little for me. Listening to it on audio really helped me get through it with enjoyment.

George and Alanna (Spoilers included)

I really enjoyed the beginning and middle of this novel but the ending was a little disappointing. Having Duke Roger come back again. Her brother Thom dying was heartbreaking. I really wanted him to live and grow to be a great wizard. Alanna and George's relationship is just adorable. He really saw her all together instead of just loving parts of her. He knew she needed freedom to live unlike her other suitors.

My childhood

They were my childhood. I reread them often. My kids will read too because they have such good messages.

A Favorite

I first read this book back when I was I school and many times after. The audio version is just amazing and brings it to life and I have listened to it many times since it is so well done.

love it!!!

I have loved this series since I was a girl. and it is still just as magical all these years later.

Another fantastic tale!

Another fantastic adventure so well written and so well read that I was a part of the adventure!

great

this is a good author and the third series I've read belonging to her. it is an excellent tale. just sad it's so short

Great story

Very well written story. Story was very interesting and made you to want to keep ready to see what comes next.

Good but left me wanting more

The story was good but left me wanting more like what happened with the envelope and prince Jonathan and Alana or princess jasmine overall just really really left me groping for an answer it just left me wanting more but overall a really good story.

I love this author and series!

I am so glad this series is on Audible.com, I love this author and this series. I always listen to this series when I am working on a new project, it is an easy story to listen to but keeps me occupied enough when my hands are busy. I read it for the first time in high school but I still love it as an adult! I like how her books show the importance of family and tradition but also shows how some change is good; she also shows the importance of women's roles in her stories!
