About this listen

A kingdom beset by monsters... A disease that weakens and destroys... An epic poem and a hero of long ago... A story of danger and desperation.

The two princesses of Bamarre couldn't be more different. Princess Addie is fearful and shy. Her deepest wish is for safety. Princess Meryl is bold and brave. Her deepest wish is to save the kingdom of Bamarre. They are sisters, and they mean the world to each other.

Then disaster strikes, and Addie - terrified and unprepared - sets out on a perilous quest. In her path are monsters of Bamarre: ogres, specters, gryphons, and dragons. Addie must battle them, but time is running out, and the sisters' lives - and Barmarre's fate - hang in the balance.

Gail Carson Levine left her mark on fantasy with her well-loved 1998 Newbery Honor Book Ella Enchanted. Now she has created another shimmering and tapestried landscape of fantasy and fairies. Bamarre and the journeys of its two princesses will burn themselves into the minds of listeners, and all will relish this moving saga about two sisters groping their way toward heroism.

I listened to this as a child and it is still just as interesting and invigorating almost 20 years later! I’d recommend it for ages 12+

Literally my favorite book ever from my childhood. I’ve read it a gazillion times and can always come back to it when I’m in a reading slump or just want something to read I know and love. Also the narrator is top notch and does a fabulous job.

One of my comfort reads

I have loved this book since I was a little girl, so my review might be slightly biased. The story is a light and lively adventure with the younger of two princesses, the 'cowardly' one who is afraid of spiders, war, and everything in between. She grows through the story, overcoming her fears and meeting challenges headlong along the way. As a girl, I liked that she started out by being scared and then became brave; it was an example I tried to emulate to some success. As and adult, I love the rich characters, the hero from Bamarre's stories who becomes a literal guiding force for Addie through the story. The ending is particularly striking, as it isn't the ultimately completely happy ending frequently found in many stories targeted at this age group. I think the ending is perfect as it is, but it isn't what you expect at all and is magical because of it.
I recommend this book to anyone of any age group, and it has a permanent place on my favorites list.

I've loved this book since I was a kid. I'm almost thirty now and the story is just as powerful. I love the exploration of different kinds of strength and what motivates people to change and act out-of-character for the better. The tension is held and released so well and the ending is beautifully bittersweet.

I already own a physical copy back home, but wanted to listen while I'm away. I really enjoyed the narrator styles and the way she did the various voices. It was very enjoyable.

Forever one of my favorite books

This was a truly captivating story! My 9 year old twins loved the story. At time it was more violent than I expected but not graphic. Wonderful story about conquering fears.

My daughters loved it!

I read this book about 10 years ago and have been waiting on the audio book for about a year. This story is magical, beautiful and full of love. It is a wholesome family book. I would recommend it to women who enjoy a little bit of childhood fantasy or to a child who loves fairy tales. The narrator did a great job bringing this story to life. 5/5 stars on the whole thing ❤️

Finally!
