Spindle

The Two Monarchies Sequence, Book 1

By: W. R. Gingell

Narrated by: Esther Wane

What is a maiden to do when her prince is not a prince, her hair won’t stop growing, and someone has cursed her to sleep for 300 years?

In Polyhymnia’s case, it seems expedient to get up with the help of a kiss or two, trailing her hair behind her, and find out who did it. Nothing quite works out as planned, however, and Poly can’t be sure if that’s because she never seems to be able to remember things like the mysterious spindle that keeps showing up around her, or if it’s the fault of the wizard who woke her but never stops long enough to explain anything.

Poly is determined in two things: One, that she will find out who cursed her to sleep and meddled with her memories. Two, that she will absolutely not fall in love with the irritating wizard who seems to need to keep kissing her back into the real world…

Delightful story and narration

This was my first introduction to the author and I fell in love with this book and it's unique quirky characters and world. Listening to it just reminds me how incredible it is. The narrator did a wonderful job bringing the story to life and creating unique voices for each character. Highly recommend!

Delightful

This is a delightful story with a great narrator. I am very pleased with how the voice actor portrayed all the various characters, especially the main ones. I'm impressed with how well the actor captured Luck's vagueness, Poly's determination, and Onepiece's puppiness! Esther Wayne did justice to W.R. Gingell's whimsical story. Highly recommend!

Fantastic

I was hooked from the first to the last sentence. This is an original fairy-tale told in a unique and captivating manner, with characters I loved. I am hoping that more of the series is turned into audiobooks.

Love this story

I love this story. It is so unique and fun. It’s one of those books that I’ve read multiple times and enjoy over and over again

Great story and Narrator does justice to the story!

I’ve lost count on my rereads and relisten to Spindle! Poly and Luck are just so much fun!

Content: clean, no swearing, no spice just kissing, mild violence
