A good listen

Interesting characters whose true motives are slowly discovered. a little predictable at times but twist and turns more than make up for it.

Excellent!

A great fantasy read. All of the characters are believable and presented in a story that you can feel yourself being part of the action... of which there is plenty! The story of a young boy (or is he?) who finds himself in a struggle for survival while unknowingly is a pawn for some and the source of redemption for others.

This first in a series is well worth your time and money. Well written, excellent narration and one in which you will find yourself identifying with the characters and their struggles.

A sad yet hopeful story

Would you listen to Tallow again? Why?

Yes. It left me wanting to know more.

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

Yes!

Any additional comments?

Eloise Oxer did a very good job with this story. I will be looking forward to the other books in this series.

A sad, and yet, hopeful story. Tallow lives with much angst, deception and loneliness. She learns she is of a race which has been hunted for the past several centuries and is the reason she must go about as unnoticed as is possible... as a boy.

Fear of self - being noticed - getting caught - loosing friendships. Dressing and living as the opposite sex, for safety. Learning to use magical abilities, learning self confidence. Selflessness, selfishness, greed, friendship, love, family, adventure, good vs. evil, a city much like Venice, imbuing emotion into wax - happiness - love - comfort - etc, merchants and guilds, mentor, secrets, a boy and a dog.

The tale is left with somewhat of a cliff hanger. If your one who despises this, then have the next book available to read.
