Story4.5 out of 5 stars 16
When Lillian, the one and only heir to the throne, is cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces, she accidentally wanders into the Forest of Forgetfullness, where she is rescued by wolves and raised by an eccentric old wise woman. When she comes of age, she is called by Destiny to return home. The trouble is, when Lillian steps out of the Forest, she has no memory of who she is or from whence she hails. Undaunted, the spirited, self-reliant young woman sets off into the unknown, determined to rediscover her long lost self and to reclaim her stolen birthright.

I happen to be what is known as a sound healing facilitator. (I use special musical instruments, such as crystal bowls, tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and other instruments to play, to people who have cancer, and other diseases, and who are dealing with emotional trauma/ PTST, etc. as a treatment to go into deep relaxation so the body can move into self-healing. Some of you will think that’s silly, some of you will totally Get It and may even have experienced sound baths. Knowing the healing powers of sound as I do, I highly recommend this book to sound sensitives, The soothing quality of Suzie Plakson’s voice (as the narrator, as Lillian, as all the other characters) alone feels SO good to me. It’s so musical, somehow.
I'm going to recommend to my clients to buy it purely to listen to the chapter about the Pink Purple Periwinkle Peacocks (so much beautiful whimsy in Lilian’s world) and because when I listened to it, I felt like something about it soothed me so deeply. Also, in the second part there is a chapter about Faeries – no spoilers but I might’ve loved the Faeries chapter best. The other thing I LOVE is how Lillian’s miraculous music box works to “sing you the song the heart most needs to hear.” I want one of my own.
Truly I can’t say enough about the audiobook experience of King Lillian. I listen to audiobooks mostly while I’m driving, and I have to say, a few times listening to this one, I had to pull over just to sit and take it all in. I also love that it feels old-fashioned, in the most beautiful ways. It spoke to me on so many levels, as the story is so rich and so full that I went through a spectrum of emotions while being so captivated. I will definitely be returning many times to returning to listen to “The Return of King Lillian.”
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
