reading

I feeling that the reading was lacking in conveying the feelings of the events, I would have given it more starts if she had read parts with more emotions.

Enjoyable performance

Since I like this narrator and enjoy this author, it's hard to admit that this isn't quite the best work of either. The book could have used more editing, and Trini doesn't put as much polish into the narration as she has in other books. Still, it's a fine tale and a good read, if not a brilliant one. I enjoyed it anyway.

Amazing!!! It's a must read!

It's worth reading and I have every book she has written. The Alana series by far is one of my favs!

An excellent end to this awesome 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! Each book in this series is four to five hours; short and sweet but you still feel like a lot of substance and story was covered in each book.

legend is born

the narration was done very well and the story is compelling. Tamora Pierce is a fantastic.
