“Awesome. Thuridur was Iceland's first female punk, sea captain, woman to wear trousers, and all-around badass. She's the hero you didn't know you needed. Margaret Wilson did an excellent job researching this book learning from the people of Iceland. I listened on Libro.fm, but will also read a physical copy because I like to party.”

“This novel is The Secret Garden meets Goodnight Mr. Tom meets Gone Girl. I loved it! I've been listening to this as an audiobook on my morning walks and I've been having to take afternoon and evening walks as well, because I just can't wait to hear more. I love the thought of a magical world only the sisters share with their stories. Patti Callahan Henry just captures that wonder of childhood so well. This book is an easy handsell and one of my favorites so far this year!”

I couldn't put it down.”

The title instilled enough doubt in everything going on that I wasn’t sure which characters to trust, whose side of the story was true, and who was manipulating whom. I was dying to...”

“As a plant-based eater, I only picked up this book because we were hosting an event with Brant. After moderating and interviewing him, I was compelled by his arguments and passion. Now that I've listened to the book, I find it deeply researched, enormous in scope, very funny, and intensely thought-provoking. Brant narrates the audiobook, and it's fantastic; so much personality and charm, you can't help but be swayed by him alone. And then he backs it up with personal experience, wit, deep...”

“Wow - what an incredible fantasy! Prepare yourself for an adventure that feels both familiar and wholly original, set in a dark world with even darker magic, where the lines between good and evil are blurred and messy. They thought the reign of evil would end with the death of the Dark Lord. They were all deceived. Now the Nine Heroes of the old war are scattered, dead, or distant, and it is up to Alf to bring them together to face the threat along with his evil, magical, talking sword. (The...”
