Bravely

By: Maggie Stiefvater

Narrated by: Fiona Hardingham

What if you had one year to save everything you loved?

ONE PRINCESS.

Merida of DunBroch needs a change. She loves her family—jovial King Fergus, proper Queen Elinor, the mischievous triplets—and her peaceful kingdom. But she's frustrated by its sluggishness; each day, the same. Merida longs for adventure, purpose, challenge—maybe even, someday, love.

TWO GODS.

But the fiery Princess never expects her disquiet to manifest by way of Feradach, an uncanny supernatural being tasked with rooting out rot and stagnation, who appears in DunBroch on Christmas Eve with the intent to demolish the realm—and everyone within. Only the intervention of the Cailleach, an ancient entity of creation, gives Merida a shred of hope: convince her family to change within the year—or suffer the eternal consequences.

THREE VOYAGES.

Under the watchful eyes of the gods, Merida leads a series of epic journeys to kingdoms near and far in an attempt to inspire revolution within her family. But in her efforts to save those she loves from ruin, has Merida lost sight of the Clan member grown most stagnant of all—herself?

FOUR SEASONS TO SAVE DUNBROCH—OR SEE IT DESTROYED, FOREVER.

Wow

I had read the Scorpio Races in the beginning of the year and had so many problems with it. Can’t believe it is the same author! Makes me want to reread her previous books. I get that some people can have a hard time with her writing style as it feels too simple and middle grade at times, too poetic in other scenes… but I loved her writing! It felt real and magical at the same time, funny and deep. The story is really well developed and there are so many cliffhangers on every chapter you won’t want to put it down. One complaint: Merida doesn’t feel like Merida, but a 5 year old at the beginning. She gets a pretty solid character arc so I won’t even complaint

absolutely enchanting

I always love Maggie Stiefvater's writing, and I was not disappointed in my first audiobook listen of her work. The narrator was absolutely brilliant in how she portrayed the different voices in the story. This one I would happily relisten to.

excellent read!

was it very exciting book. I hope there will be a sequel. I would recommend this book to anybody.

amazing

well written and very descriptive I thought it was fun that it referenced the story in the BRAVE but to find out this book was supported by disney inc was a interesting surprise

not childish want another book

Twist at the end

Really great listen, have loved this author for a while and the narrater was fantastic. Really drew me into the story. The ending leaves me hoping for more

Loved it

I absolutely loved it, beginning to end. I hope Maggie decides to do a sequel.

Amazing Story and great lessons

It was amazing! The story of Merida and the gods plus a backstory to her whole family. It was mind blowing and absolutely beautiful. Tricks, bargains, and growth. All of these thing shaped everyone of them to the point that they made changes physically, mentally, and emotionally. There NEEDS to be a sequel!!!

Wonderful - perfection

This book is so wonderful. It holds true to the Disney Movie but it is not a Disney book. It is somehow what we love about Maggie’s books and characters even though it started out Disney.
Hoping for another!

wonderful read

I liked the not being able to guess the ending. Wonderful addition to the 1st movie.

Very Good

The story wasn't exactly what I expected, it was better! The ending was even better than I hoped!
