À propos de cet audio

Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events overtake them, spilling them into a cauldron of misadventures. They discover that their own story is bound up in the tumult threatening to overwhelm the wider world.

Kings fall, and kingdoms totter. Tyrants ascend, and terrors threaten. Betrayal beckons, and loyalty is a broken road with peril around every bend.

Where will Heather and Picket land? How will they make their stand?

Brilliant and Enjoyable

My kids (ages 2-10) kept begging for more. Adults will enjoy the story too. We will read the whole series I'm sure.

Great for all ages!

Great story, good narrator. Warning: every chapter ends in a cliff hanger so stop midchapter if you don't want your kids begging for more! (they still will but they will be slightly less desperate)

Rabbits with swords!

Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed this riveting tale. Great themes of courage, grave and goodness in the face of darkness. Highly recommend.

Great story, great narrator

Compares well to coming-of-age fantasy series like Harry Potter, Wingfeather, etc.

Not quite Tolkien, though obviously not trying to be that.

The theme of rebuilding and cooperation and trust really worked and makes me excited to read more of these and give them to my kids. Civilization goals, to be sure.

The family drama plot works quite well. I'm not sure the big "surprise" plot point works as well as it could have, but maybe I missed some nuances that would help the names make more sense and the secret be more believable.

The political intrigue concepts — honor, dishonour, loyalty — are handled in a much more satisfying way than is typical in the genre. I hope for some great payoffs in this regard. I recommend the book for this point alone.

I liked the use of alliterative metre in passages early on, though it wasn't quite consistent enough to really pay off in a high-art kind of way.

The pseudo-medieval pseudo-naturalistic setting was fine, but I really hope Smith gets more invested in the world building.

***
Narration: Clarkson does a great job with the villains, and his take on the song brought a tear to my eye.
That said, his narration is a bit wooden, and I think a few lines missed the intended emphasis altogether. I'll assume he's working without a coach or director and say: I look forward to hearing an improvement in later readings. I know how difficult reading is, but these are full-priced Audible releases so I expected a bit more polish on the performance.

A new classic in juvenile-medieval-animal.

Initially, I read the entire series on Kindle. This time, I am listening my way through the series as I travel. The plot is captivating and inspiring with its many twists and turns. The interaction and development of the characters is carefully and creatively crafted. As a therapeutic reading tutor, I look forward to recommending and sharing the series with my students. Great story!

Just as engaging and captivating 2nd time through
