Meadowsweet

Galleries of Stone, Book 1

By: C. J. Milbrandt

Narrated by: Travis Baldree

Galleries of Stone introduces a world where magical mountains are entrusted to master sculptors like Freydolf. Necessity drives this recluse from the Statuary to find a new servant. The villagers thereabouts fear him - with good reason - but when people are poor, and homes are crowded, all it takes is a handful of coins to loosen family ties.

Tupper Meadowsweet isn’t the cleverest child, but he’s brave enough to follow Freydolf onto the gray mountain, where the Statuary’s living masterpieces hint at faraway lands, diverse races, unique customs, long histories, and danger.....

Wow

What a heart warming story. This is definitely one of those stories to go to when you are having a rough time. It brought me so much joy listening to the characters interact with one another. I am very much looking forward to the next one.

A different kind of story.

A good book over all! A bit slow, but it’s a good slow burn learn about the magic and the world type of book, with character growth as a key feature. Great narration as always and over all entertaining.

A Great Surprise!

Followed Travis Baldree here after the latest Cradle novel, what can I say, he adds a great touch to fantasy books! Enough of the narration though, this book was an amazing fantasy palette cleanser after all the heavy action and adventure novels I read/listened too recently. This book is intriguing, heartwarming, well suited for family listeners and sci-fi fantasy lovers. Looking forward to book 2.

SPECTACULAR!

Everything about this book nestles deep into your heart, it explores every nook and cranny of your soul. It plays with tradition, delicately cradles your imagination, and teaches your emotions new ways to grow.

Very sweet and heartwarming

This was such a lovely surprise. This is a very calm, slow, unfolding tale. The characters are very memorable and the setting is so vivid and clear. Although it’s not at all action packed, you find that you just want to be in this world and be in the company of these characters. If you need a sweet, cozy and heartwarming tale, this is absolutely a book for you. Wish there was more fantasy novels like this. And…Travis Baldree delivers another stellar performance. 🖤
