The Accidental Queen

A Midlife Fairy Tale

By: Kristen Painter

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Sparrow “Ro” Meadowcroft is about to get the promotion she’s always dreamed of–curator of the museum where she works. She loves old things and the history that surrounds them, so when a patron leaves some items to the museum, Ro is eager to dig in.

The sword in the stone that comes with those items is clearly a joke. A well-made but obvious replica meant to be a conversation starter. Why anyone would think that belonged in the museum is beyond her, but she can’t resist taking a crack at it and finding out if she’s the chosen one.

And as it turns out...she is.

Exquisite, a breath of fresh air

This audiobook will capture you from the beginning. As soon as B.J. start narrating this story his words get wrap around you and you can feel every emotion there is to feel.

This audiobook is about a mature woman in her 50 that has to confront changes in her life and does it with thoughtfulness and not cowering down. It combines actual moments in life with a dash of history (Excalibur), a bit of time/place travel, a new view of Fairyland and a lot of fun.

It's a fantasy with a different twist. I'm an avid listener of Paranormal and usually I can guess what's coming next but not with this one. It continued to surprise me at every turn and I can't wait for the next one.

I love Painters books but….

While this book has well developed characters and an interesting story concept, the book overall is slow. I found myself easily distracted and had to listen at a faster pace just to maintain interest. I will definitely read the next one as I am a huge fan, but I hope it will be more of a race to finish rather than a leisurely stroll in the garden!

Another good series in the making.

I liked the story. The problem I had with this and her previous series is it takes forever for the lead female character to make up here mind! Chapter after chapter of " oh, what should I do" angst. It did wear on me. BJ Harrison turned in a stellar performance as useal. Worth the money and time to listen? Yes always!

Cliffhanger ☹️be worth it

Loved it. Hate the cliffhanger I really wish they’d state there’s a cliffhanger I hate waiting lol.
Can’t wait for the next one😍❤️

Good story, smart , intelligent heroine

Did great job. Male voice was surprisingly good. Can't wait for the next one.
Felt like something everyone should try.😁
