One of the best story series Ever.

Authors are amazing with imaginary worlds & this is one of the best. But? Start to current time has been decades, thus this author writes at a pace most find unforgiving. The books are worth the wait even if you choose to read them all over again to refresh your mind.

I absolutely loved it!

The world and the people that this edition celebrates is my all time favorite! This newest novella did not disappoint!! Not to give much away.. is that I felt closure and healing for more than one character and wonderful delight at returning to Seven Chimneys once again! An excellent read for those who are, and who are NOT familiar with the Epic series this is based around!!! I believe it does stand on its own.

So many years I have spent reading and re-reading the Green Rider series, first in hard copy, then ebook and now on Audible. I have more than one physical copy of all in the series but I'm still looking for that elusive hardback first edition Green Rider! My absolute favorite author and world!!! ❤❤❤

A Wonderful 20th Anniversary Treat

As excellently narrated as the Green Rider series, these short stories and snippets from the author are a wonderful treat. Offering insights into Kristin’s life and inspirations of her written works, this novella provides delightful asides to tide you over until the next book’s release. I’m so glad I chose to purchase and listen to The Dream Gatherer; fellow fans will not be disappointed!

This Was a Fun Side

I think my favorite part was the fate of Stickles. I was disappointed about one thing however, I Really really thought The Harp would be the answer to Estrall's problems. I had expected it to be healed or something.

Kristen speaks!

It was so fun to hear the author speak on her work! I love this series and love it even more knowing where her thoughts were formed!
