Publisher's summary

What is a maiden to do when her prince is not a prince, her hair won’t stop growing, and someone has cursed her to sleep for 300 years?

In Polyhymnia’s case, it seems expedient to get up with the help of a kiss or two, trailing her hair behind her, and find out who did it. Nothing quite works out as planned, however, and Poly can’t be sure if that’s because she never seems to be able to remember things like the mysterious spindle that keeps showing up around her, or if it’s the fault of the wizard who woke her but never stops long enough to explain anything.

Poly is determined in two things: One, that she will find out who cursed her to sleep and meddled with her memories. Two, that she will absolutely not fall in love with the irritating wizard who seems to need to keep kissing her back into the real world…

Delightful story and narration

This was my first introduction to the author and I fell in love with this book and it's unique quirky characters and world. Listening to it just reminds me how incredible it is. The narrator did a wonderful job bringing the story to life and creating unique voices for each character. Highly recommend!

Great story and Narrator does justice to the story!

I’ve lost count on my rereads and relisten to Spindle! Poly and Luck are just so much fun!

Content: clean, no swearing, no spice just kissing, mild violence

Delightful

This is a delightful story with a great narrator. I am very pleased with how the voice actor portrayed all the various characters, especially the main ones. I'm impressed with how well the actor captured Luck's vagueness, Poly's determination, and Onepiece's puppiness! Esther Wayne did justice to W.R. Gingell's whimsical story. Highly recommend!

This may be the worst beginning ever

This is the second time I bought this book. I wish I could return it but since I did not use an Audible credit I cannot return it. Apparently I read the Kindle edition in 2017. I gave it two stars. I don't know that I finished it then either. I have listened for 2 1/2 hours and I still have no clue what is going on. I feel like I have missed some integral information. It is almost as if I have opened the book in the middle. It is beyond frustrating. I saw one person who reviewed this book that said if you can get past the beginning it gets better. I don't think I have it in me. I gave up on this in 2017 and I am giving up again in 2024.
