Publisher's summary

Her father missing, 14-year-old Claudia Kobb is sent to be raised by a reclusive wizard and notorious outlaw, her grandfather, who has lived well beyond his mortal lifespan by way of a magical serum that bestows longevity.

But the magic is fading, her grandfather is dying, and together they embark on a quest to find Claudia's father while avoiding the powerful warders of Subterranea, a vast underground city where those in power will stop at nothing to destroy those who oppose them.

A brand new world of fantasy!

This book deserves your time! A fantastic listen. Crown opened up a unique fantasy world I can’t wait to discover! Time seemingly standing still with seasons that last year’s, a migration to a whole world beneath the crust to survive a winter people somewhat believe is a myth. Crow, a master wizard that still shows hes human. And a plot that takes you in and allows your mind to wander with the characters as they struggle to navigate this unique world. I can’t wait for the sequel!

A classic "gather your party" Fantasy novel!

First, let me say, this was an awesome book! If you are looking for the classic "Gather your party, there is adventure to be had!" type classic fantasy, you have a solid choice in this book.
Pros:
The characters are memorable and exciting! With in a few pages of meeting each character I felt like they were real. None of them seemed overpowered or naïve to the point of taking me out of the story.

The world is really cool and unique! a striated land of those above ground and those below is already an interesting setting but the addition of a world with seasons that span lifetimes makes the world feel alive in its history and lore.

The magic system is clean and simple; Listen, I love me some hard magic, but sometimes it is nice to just watch wizards through fire balls! There is definitely a deep background to the magic in the world and enough to keep hard magic fans interested but it is also refreshing to see a book where newer listeners won't get bogged down in the magic system

Cons:
There are not many, and most can easily be forgiven when you learn that this is the authors first book.
The pacing is a little fast in areas. I would have loved to learn more about underground rangers, the forge of creation ect. but they seemed to be barely introduced before the party was leaving to new adventures. Again, now that the second book has been announced, it is more clear that the author was trying to set up a world for a much longer story.

There are minor continuity errors but nothing that would take me out of the story.

In closing:
If you are looking for a solid Fantasy novel in a unique setting with characters you care about, you are in the right spot. If you are looking to support indy, self published authors this is the book for you. I have been lucky enough to hear some of the next book and I can say that this is just a little nibble for what is in store!!

Captivating

This book is amazing and very captivating. This is the first book in a very long time where I can close my eyes while listening to the book and see the world and the events that's taking place in my mind. It's truly refreshing.

interesting world

The seasons are long and harsh.
I'm excited for the next book to come out. I've heard the second book will have spacing between scenes, as it is a little jarring when it transitions scenes with no warning.

An Amazing Performance!

Stockton Harris shines the voice of the Subterranea Saga! It is always an incredible moment to hear your characters brought to life as an audiobook, and now, when I write, I hear Stockton's portrayals acting out the scenes as the words appear on my screen! I simply cannot imagine anyone else narrating the actions and voices that carry Crowe, Claudia, and all the other characters on their quest through my vast and detailed fantasy world. I invite you to join us and begin your journey with "Crowe", the first in an ongoing series of novels traversing the World Above, the World Below, and beyond!

Great fantasy adventure

I highly recommend this book! It is a great listen! The world created by the author is a unique look into a new world waiting to be discovered. The characters pull you in and you find yourself following along as if you were there. This audiobook is a great adventure fantasy. The characters are exciting and the magical world they inhabit is even more so! This is a must listen!
