The story's great for a dramatized adaptation!

After listening to many Brandon Sanderson novels narrated by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer, I was hesitant to try something new. I'm now a few hours in and am quite enjoying the immersion of the full cast, music and the sound effects! Absolutely worth a shot if you love B. Sanderson novels or this is also a great entry point! Kudos to the entire team on the project! Hope to hear more in the future! Honored to leave the first review on this project :)

Amazing!

Outstanding ! Performance great! Story great! These full cast audiobooks are the best. Looking forward to listening all of the stories in the series.

Character development galore!

Wonderful reenactment of a whimsical and well thought out adventure. The characters were represented well, and the background sounds added magic to this recording! Can’t wait to listen to it again!

My Favorite B. Sanderson Book!

This book made me laugh so many times. It's so clever and well written. Great audible, too. If you're going to listen to a version, you should pick this one. Great book!!! I didn't want to stop listening. A couple of times, I continued even after my commute was over bc I was so invested. It grabs you and holds you. The ending is perfection.

Not bad, but it should really be listed as a YA novel

There isn't anything wrong with this book, it feels very much like a Sanderson book which is not a bad thing, but it should really be tagged as a YA book. The magic of the world is creative and interesting and deep, but the characters are a little bit... one note would be the best I could explain it. Part of this could be put down to the narration.

And TBH, I don't think I particularly like the way this was adapted. The full cast is nice but I didn't like some of the direction, particularly for Tress' for voice actress, as the performance was always slightly off in tone from what you'd expect from the actually story. If I had to listen to it again I would definitely spring for the regular old audiobook, despite never having heard it.

Loved it!

I've listened to many Sanderson books but this was first dramatized version and I don't know how I'll go back. The immersion is hypnotic and I did not want to stop listening. The story is incredible, whimsical, unique and rememberable. Every character is played out so well, kudos to everyone involved on this project. If you're on the fence about getting it, don't be just get it! You will not be disappointed in the dramatized version.

Obsessed - the Princess Bride meets Dr. Who

Best book I’ve read in a long time. It’s rekindled my love of stories. I will for sure be reading all of this author’s books!!!!

Phenomenal performances, phenomenal journey

Whether you’re new to Sanderson’s work completely, or a seasoned Cosmere vet - if you like fantasy or whimsical journeys, you ought to love this book.

I adored the performances and execution here by Graphic Audio, stellar work by all involved.

Delightful, Start to Finish!

Fantastic, fun, and sincerely heartwarming! It's an excellent performance, and some of the best use of music and SFX I've seen in dramatized version so far.

A fun whimsical book

A little hard to follow at times but I enjoyed myself. Great amount of twists and turns
