About this listen

Kaye is used to drifting from place to place with her mother’s rock band, until an ominous attack forces them back to her childhood home. Kaye’s always had the unique ability to see faeries, so when she stumbles upon an injured faerie knight in the woods, she decides to save him.

But this fateful choice has dire consequences, as she soon finds herself the unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms. Will Kaye escape with her life?

I love the accent she gave him even if her voice did make him sound a little girly

The story was very good, very traditional cruel and tricky fae which was a good difference from some fae in books where they only have hearts of gold. I like Kaye, and I love Roiben.

I’m so unbelievably happy

These books were my safe place as a kid and now almost fifteen years later I can love them and their characters all over again

worth the wait !!

i’ve been waiting for this amazing story to join its companions on audible for years — and I was not disappointed once it did, This book was the gateway into Faerie for me so many years ago; it remains among my favorites to this day, along with other works of Holly Black. How I missed Kaye & Roiben!

Such good dark fantasy

It’s been a long while since I read this book and listening to it again just reminded me how much I love the writing style and story telling I wish Holly Black would write some adult (spicy) fantasy but for a YA book this series is sooo enjoyable and worth a read/ listen.

I’m ensorcelled 🥰

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Holly Black is a brilliant writer. Her storytelling lifts the veil to the magical realm. Her characters are edgy but relatable. I love that you hear the story from several characters points of view.

Good story, poor narration

I found the narrator to be very boring and lackluster which is a shame because I really love these books. Roiben sounds so much girlier than Kaye and his random accent is incredibly distracting. It's too bad really.

La historia.

Volver a creer en el mundo de las hadas es siempre bueno, no importa la edad. Este título me recordó lo bello de la inocencia de la infancia, inocencia que se va perdiendo al ir creciendo... Recomiendo este título a cualquiera que quiera volver a creer, volver a soñar.
