Bound in an unwanted marriage, Freya spends her days gutting fish, but dreams of becoming a warrior. And of putting an axe in her boorish husband’s back. Freya's dreams abruptly become reality when her husband betrays her to the region's jarl, landing her in a fight to the death against his son, Bjorn. To survive, Freya is forced to reveal her deepest secret: She possesses a drop of a goddess's blood, which makes her a shield maiden with magic capable of repelling any attack.

As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life. At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon - a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally. A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day - an advantage that will come in handy in Sandis’s fight for freedom.

This story felt unique to me personally and as mentioned above, I still think about this series years after finishing it! I enjoyed the entire series, the characters were interesting and I found myself feeling for them. I will reread these soon

Josephine Bailey really adds to this story!
Reviewed: 12-22-18
I adored this series and I'm especially appreciative of Josephine Bailey. Her narration was wonderful. Every character had their own distinct personality, and their voice seemed to really fit the character. As for the story itself I enjoyed it. I found Gemma to be frustrating at times, I wish she did more on purpose. I would have liked her to be smarter with her decisions and I feel as though she didn't have a plan for anything that happened, she simply dealt with the windfall of others actions. It is a beautiful and crazy world that Libba Bray has created and I enjoyed my time in it nonetheless.

With all of the pluck and charm of its eponymous young hero, Rachel McAdams (The Notebook, Spotlight, Midnight in Paris) delivers a spectacular reading of Montgomery's beloved bildungsroman. In moments both funny and bittersweet, McAdams' voice is imbued with the spark that has made Anne a much-loved symbol of individualism and cheer for over a century.

As a first exposure to the series I loved this
Reviewed: 01-15-18
Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of Green Gables to be better than the print version?
I haven't tried to read the print version just yet so I cannot say.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the innocent, fantastical, dramatic Anne and how she changes the dull lives of the people around her.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened to the majority of this book on a 10-hour overnight shift and was happy to do so until the earbuds started to hurt my ears and I was forced to remove them.
Any additional comments?
I loved Rachel McAdams' narration on this story and felt like she fit the book well.
