The Accidental Queen

A Midlife Fairy Tale

De: Kristen Painter

Narrado por: 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.

Children's fairytale

This was a pleasant diversion, but certainly not thrilling or thought provoking. I think labeling it as "mid life women's fiction" is way off the mark. It was a somewhat interesting though predictable story that is closer to a children's tale , not even young adult. Even the narrator sounded like he was reading to a young child.
It has potential, but seems more like a rough draft that hasn't been fleshed out with anything exciting.

Refreshing Read

Enjoyed this book very much. I Can’t wait until the 2nd installment of this series.

Awesome book!

I really enjoyed this book. So much that I wish for more. Series please. I have many Kristen Painter books, not a bad one yet. Thank you B.J. Harrison for great narration.

Love this book!!!

This a wonderful story. I am anxious to read more of the story. I love the beginning and have already picked this as one of my favorites.

Sequel please!

Pleasant listen. It ended too soon! Can’t wait for the next one. The narrator does a great job

This was okay

A little predictable. Could use a more excitement in narration. Provided the background needed.

Captivating

Intrigue, disappointment, sorrow, incandescent joy, excitement, budding romance, and so much more. I wish I’d have waited for the follow on books as I am disappointed I cannot move on right away to the next installment. Well written, descriptive, and a great foundation to the upcoming series. I can’t wait to see the development of all the characters!!!

A cliff hanger! ugh

I enjoyed the book, but not happy about the cliff hanger. I do enjoy most of her books though. Can't wait for the next book.

I Loved Everything about this Book!!

What a great story that goes from our reality here to the Fae realm. Sparrow is a character whose story I will be excited to continue to follow . She is intelligent, bold, caring and a true leader. This book introduces us to Ro, the realms, her family and the people of the kingdoms. I was hooked from the opening words and kept turning on the audio to continue every chance I got until finished! Every character in this book made me want to know more about them and how they will continue to interact!! I will be (not so) patiently waiting for the next book to see what happens next!!!

Very fun

Downside the ending is too abrupt - good story enjoyable. But even stories with sequels should end on a ending of sorts. This one didn’t.
