The sexy, action-packed first dramatized audiobook adaptation in the #1 New York Times bestselling Court of Thorns and Roses series from Sarah J. Maas. Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!

When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a terrifying creature arrives to demand retribution. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she knows about only from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not truly a beast, but one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled her world.

At least, he's not a beast all the time.

As she adapts to her new home, her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But something is not right in the faerie lands. An ancient, wicked shadow is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it, or doom Tamlin-and his world-forever.

From bestselling author Sarah J. Maas comes a seductive, breathtaking series that blends romance, adventure, and faerie lore into an unforgettable listen.

Worth the credit

I have read the original series through twice and I love it, so I was hesitant to spend the credit on another rendition of the same audiobook I already own. But the performances were very good and I enjoyed the ambient sounds that added depth to the performances. the ambient sound was a bit off-putting in the first few minutes since I wasn't used to the extra noise beyond just the reading.
If you are new to the series or already like the series, I consider it worth the credit. I like the voice actors a lot, and I'm excited to see what they do with the rest of the books. The second book is my favorite so I'm excited to listen to that!

The narration though...

Compared to Jennifer Ikeda's performance in the original audio version, this full cast dramatization leaves you unsatisfied and wanting to listen to the original version. It is too bad; these dramatized versions can be great and truly entertaining but this cast does not do it for me. At least I have all of the original versions to fall back on :)

Absolutely favorite series

This rendition of the series is so relaxing to listen to through the day. I enjoy just working while having this in the background and it makes me feel immersed into the story. It is a little hard to tell the difference between when Feyre is talking to herself verses other people but other than that I love it. Also don’t agree that this is how Feyre sounds but that’s just me haha

Love it love it love it!

This is so amazing! I was glued!!! GLUED! I tore through all of the books in DAYS! My ears seriously hurt from wearing headphones so long! These are a must read especially this Dramatized version!!!! This version has ruined normal audiobooks for me forever I don’t think I can ever listen to a non-dramatized book again! I swear it was like turning on the greatest movie and shutting your eyes and letting the images come to life in your mind!!!!

AMAZING!

wow! this is a million times better than the original audio book! I will never listen to the audio book again after this bc this was such a great performance! I love this series so much and this made me love it more! I cant wait for the rest of the books to be released on graphic audio!!!
