The Way of Kings

This is the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s new epic fantasy series, The Stormlight Archive. Fantasy fans will savour this book as it is definitely an ambitious and hefty tome at just over a thousand pages. But, don’t let the weight of this book scare you off! Sanderson does an excellent job of making his fractured world accessible and a pleasure to delve into. Every time I read one of his novels I am struck by how creative and fresh the magical system is.

If you love fantasy and adventure stories filled with magic, castles, knights, and strong, smart girls, then Igraine the Brave is for you.  Written by children’s author Cornelia Funke, of Dragon Rider and Inkheart fame, this unabridged Listening Library audio production runs just shy of 4 1/2 hours.

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase

As a fan of audiobooks, I find I often tend to listen to children’s or teen’s titles as a rule. Having recently finished Gilda Joyce : the Ghost Sonata by Jennifer Allison,  read by Jessica Almasy, I picked up The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken, read by Nigel Lambert. Originally published as a novel in 1962, this unabridged BBC audio production runs 4 hours and 53 minutes.
