Loved it

Love this book so much. I could not ask for better for a book I love.

The story is full of wonderful Characters.

I liked the way the full cast voices bring the characters to life. The character’s voices make me imagine how they might look and move. Makes me think of their personalities.

Wolf Speaker

Great book! I was transported to a different world. This was the third book in the series and I am hungry for more.

Favorite brought to life!

I absolutely loved this story and series growing up and getting to hear it brought to life with Full Cast Audio makes me so happy! I’m off to buy and listen to the next in the series!

Good book

loved this book, and the different voices matched the characters well. will listen again probabl

Great as always!

Tamora Pierce spins wonderful tales, and Full Cast has wonderful actors. Her writer's voice is always a joy to hear, and the cast just makes things even more lovely.

Continue to enjoy

I continue to enjoy this series. It only gets better as you go through it.

Old Classic, wish they had done it differently.

Tamora Pierce is an old favorite and I love her stories dearly. I just dislike the cast reading of this. It's a general dislike I have of all audiobooks. Very rarely does it work for me, and it really didn't here. I'm sad, but I guess if you don't mind many people speaking at you, then it works out fine.

Well -voiced and enjoyable. A great story for all.

Having read this story many times over the years, I am finding a new enjoyment with the audible version. The actors represent their parts wonderfully. If you struggle to get your tweenager to read, this series might do the trick. With all of the animals involved, it might even be worth starting with this one instead of the first book in the series. Don't just let them listen though! Get them to read along as it might help them to become readers for enjoyment, not because they have to. (So requests a long time teacher!) And who knows, with all of the great books that Tamora has written, they might become lovers of books! One can only hope!

Story fine, narration needs work

The full cast audio versions for these need work. While it can be interesting to have an author as the reader, and often good, it doesn’t work here. The narrated parts in between the characters speaking are extraordinarily slow and deliberate, and that’s coming from someone who grew up in the south and is used to a slower rhythm of speech. It takes a while to get into the story because of that, and can be jarring going back and forth between the characters and the narrator. This is one of the only books where I’ve sped up the playback speed, though it can only be sped up a tiny bit before the other voices become too fast. The actress who voices Daine (the main character) is slightly annoying too. She makes Daine’s voice very dramatic and excitable. The animals’ voices are generally fine. They’re what keeps the story going in the recorded versions of this series. If I hadn’t read the books in physical form first I’d probably not have made it all the way through. The story itself is ok, but a new recording would be highly beneficial.
