Rupert didn't especially want to be a prince. And he certainly never asked to be the second son of a royal line that really didn't need a spare. So he was sent out to slay a dragon and prove himself - a quest straight out of legend. But he also discovered the kinds of things legends tend to leave out, as well as the usual demons, goblins, the dreaded Night Witch - and even worse terrors hidden in the shadows of Darkwood. Rupert did find a fiery dragon - and a beautiful princess to rescue. But the dragon turned out to be a better friend than anyone back at the castle, and with the evil of Darkwood spreading, Rupert was going to need all the friends he could get.

I love all the books in the Forest Kingdom series, though I wish all of them were narrated like this, the dramatized adaptations are odd.

Fantastic series

it took me a while to get into the book but all in all it was good. I had to get used to the very slite differences in inflection that the narrator gave each character but I did enjoy the grace of his reading style.

if you start this book just keep on listening

If you could sum up Blue Moon Rising in three words, what would they be?

I wasn't expecting much from this book, but it really was good. It did get a tad predictable at times, but it was fun and well written/performed. I chose this book on a whim, and I"m glad I did.

What other book might you compare Blue Moon Rising to and why?

There is a bit of a Pratchett feel to the books.

Which character – as performed by John Keating – was your favorite?

Unicorn.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Naw, its too long...but I did listen to it for several hours in one sitting.

Pleasant Surprise

Another absolutely gem from Green, I'm a huge fan of his Deathstalker and Nightside books and was thrilled to discover a fantasy series from him as well. Keating's performance is perfect for this book, I highly recommend this to any fantasy fans!!

A great adventure
