Pathways

Kingdom Chronicles, Book 1

De: Camille Peters

Narrado por: Shiromi Arserio

Eileen has never been interested in love. Ever since her father's abandonment, she's vowed to never experience such pain again. But the enchanted forest has different ideas. When the continuously shifting pathways lead her to a mysterious stranger, Eileen finds her promise to fiercely guard her heart increasingly difficult to keep.

One night when she becomes lost in a storm, the enchanted forest's pathways lead her to the castle, home to the kingdom's Dark Prince, where Eileen finds herself entangled in what many consider an opportunity but which Eileen believes to be a curse: competing for the Dark Prince's hand through a series of tests that judge one's royal worth. Eileen is neither royal nor interested in becoming a princess. But the mysterious stranger she met in the woods has his own reasons for helping her succeed, although the cost of his assistance may be too high: that of Eileen's heart, the one thing she's vowed never to give.

Superficial Love

This book seems to be intended for a teenage audience. The love was so superficial I had trouble finishing the book. Since I have experienced real true deep love, it was hard to appreciate a story that just talks about gushy feelings for someone the girl doesn’t really know.

The hero is also very immature throughout the story. He does apologize at the end, but you never see him truly act selflessly. If the story was longer and he proved his selfless love, then maybe I would like it better, but he never won me over. I never really liked him as a character. He came across as slimy and selfish the whole way through the book. He also never forgives his sister or confronts his own darkness. He came across as the abusive type. I wish I could return the book.

I needed a sweet story like this

Yeah it’s young adult fiction, but I enjoyed the heck out of this story and love the narrator from other series I’ve listened to. I needed this kind of story…a Fairytale retelling with a bit of resolving relatable trust issues…

Cute Story

YA but still good story. An enjoyable listen, narrator was perfect. Will definitely listen to the next book a good in-between book.

Insipid, repetitive, predictable

Recommend for tweens, not young adult or adults. Sadly the story had no depth and was saccharine. Every character was pretty one dimensional and almost a caricature of their singular personality trait. Struggled to finish.

Sweet story

I loved this sweet fairy tale story and I really enjoyed the narrator did a great job.

Very Sweet!

A very sweet story. It is nice to have a book that isn't filled with violence, sex, drugs, and profanity. A good story with memorable characters.

It made me feel like a princess myself

Sweetest fairy tale love story with a smidgen of magic. I found my chest gushing with emotions frequently. Perfect for falling asleep to and for enjoying with a cup of tea and soft pillows during the day. I couldn't put it down and finished it in just over 2 days.

So delicious and sweet

A wonderful teen or adult fairytale. The characters are wonderful. Really intriguing and magical environment and lovely characters .... romantic rather than explicit... a wonderful adventure with the emphasis on the healing power of true love.

Loved it!!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Great fairy tale & story. Narrator makes the story come to life. She’s great!

Pathways of Life

This is the great title for this book metaphorically and literally. I have read a few titles from this author and realized again how much I love her books.
