When Brendan Leonard moved to the West at age 23, he was a mess. He had a tenuous grip on sobriety, only six months after his last drink had landed him in yet another jail cell. It was the final mistake in a long list that included multiple arrests, wrecked cars, broken bones, fistfights, and ruined relationships. In Montana, he took his first steps into the Rocky Mountains, unwittingly beginning a decade-long obsession with climbing and a journey that would take him all over the West and Europe.

There she'll live on the fringe of a mysterious forest, duty bound for seven years to assist anyone who asks for her help.

Narration detracts from good story
Revisado: 08-11-15
I thoroughly enjoyed Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters series. When I saw that she had written the first of a new series, I was looking forward to what I hoped would be another fun audio book experience. Although I did complete the story and liked it, it was an extremely disappointing performance. Why choose actors with a Midwestern American accent to read a story taking place in "old Erin" with Kings, Queens, Princes and magic?
The narrator for Blackthorn- the main character- was just plain dull, bordering on monotone at times. Grim's voice could have been from an old John Wayne western. The prince and his entourage sounded like they were in a high school play. It was distracting.
The series has great promise. I do like the story concept and the characters of Blackthorn and Grim. With better narration - including Irish accents- it could become another popular series.
