Audiobook narrated by Sarah Ovens.
An old favourite from my younger days. Follow Keladry of Mindelan as she embarks on her journey to knighthood, encountering monster such as misogyny, sexism and resistance to change.
- My inner child squealed with delight when I started listening to this book. I read this quartet religiously as a kid and teenager and it was always so comforting. Listening to it was like coming home.
- The book is definitely meant for a younger audience but doesn't hold back on the central themes. However, it really portrays well how Kel overcomes the various hurdles in her way and shows that the less trodden path isn't necessarily the wrong one.
- This is the first time I've consumed the book in audiobook form and it was great. My only gripe was occasionally words had slightly different pronunciations from what I had assumed from reading the physical books and it did bring me out of the story.
Great for kids out there who are following paths that challenge gender and social stereotypes. This book and series informed a lot of who I am today and I highly recommend it for kids from about 8-10 years onwards.
