The Raven, The Elf, and Rachel

The Books of Unexpected Enlightenment, Volume 2

By: L. Jagi Lamplighter

Narrated by: Shana M. Buck

Before coming to Roanoke Academy, Rachel Griffin had been an obedient girl - but it is hard to obey the rules when the world is in danger and no one will listen. Now, she's eavesdropping on Wisecraft Agents and breaking a great many regulations. Because if the adults will not believe her, then it is up to Rachel and her friends - crazy, orphan-boy Sigfried the Dragonslayer, and Nastasia, the Princess of Magical Australia - to stop the insidious Mortimer Egg from destroying the world. But first, she must survive truth spells, fights with her brother, detention, Alchemy experiments, talking to elves, and conjuring class. Oh, and the Raven with blood-red eyes continues to watch her. It is said to be the omen of the Doom of Worlds. Will her attempts to save her world bring the Raven's wrath down upon her? And as if that is not bad enough, someone has just turned the boy she likes into a sheep. "The British boarding school mystery meets the best imagined of fantasies at breakneck speed, and with fully realized characters." - Sarah A. Hoyt, author of the Darkship Thieves.

narrator needs work

storyline was good but the narrator's performance really didn't live up to the book.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Ace

Good like the first, only better recording quality. This one ends more like a final book, that is epic. Also, the story is clean for all ages, with no specific declarations that would offend some folks religious senses. Only problem that continues from the first is under-age dating (classically decent dating).

can not get into it at all.

narrator has no emotional inflection, voices are not natural, just not getting there for me
