Conrad's Fate is part of the clever and humorous Chrestomanci series. Twelve-year-old Conrad Tesdinic is in disguise as a servant-in-training at Stallery Mansion in the town of Stallchester. He wants to figure out what evil he caused in a past life. He and his friend Christopher Chant are trying to repair Conrad's very bad karma and to discover what mysterious entity is haunting the town.©2005 Diana Wynne Jones (P)2005 Recorded Books, LLC Ciencia Ficción y Fantasía Educación primaria Fantasía Fantasía y Magia Ficción Ingenioso Divertido

I love the Chrestomanci series books because they have enough in common to keep the reader grounded, but each adventure is unique. Conrad. like all the main characters is believable and relatable and the story is just so much fun to read. The narration was perfect as it appropriate and not at all distracting. It let the story shine through!

Magical Adventure!

While this is the 5th on the Crestomancy novels it would be second chronologically. much like the Howl's Moving Castle books this story isn't focus on our dear 9 Life Enchanter but the story of Conrad who is convinced he has bad karma and seeks work in a castle that occasionally changes, sometimes mid meals so your omelet would suddenly become bacon and eggs. Find out whether Conrad overcomes his fate and learn what is behind the castle's changes.

Another wonderful tale from Diane Wynn-Jones

Not her best in the series but definitely worth reading. The series consists of 4 books based in the same univers....sort of. It isn't necessary to read them in order to enjoy them although reading "A Charmed Life" will help you understand this book a bit better. I would recommend this book for both young adults and adults.

A good read

The main character, Conrad, was rather likable. I really felt for him several times throughout the narrative. Chris was more likable than some of the other Crestomanci books, perhaps because Conrad had a very realistic view of him.

The narrator is good, if not very memorable.

The ending is a little convoluted. I found myself having to listen to it twice while trying to unravel the complicated exposition that is dumped on the listener near the end. This seems to be an ongoing problem with many of Dianne Wynne Jones' works.

One of the better Crestomanci books

well written and performed. I read this over again when I am sick or can't sleep because it is relaxing.

I have read this a hundred times

I like to read the Chrestomanci books in order of how things happen in them so this is book 2 for me, right after The Lives of Christopher Chant. That book 1 is amazing and the imagination DWJ was blessed with is off the charts. This is really where Hogwarts began

Incredible & obviously where JK got all her ideas

I found this series after listening to the Howls Moving Castle series and loving it. Diana Wynne Jones was truly an enchantress with words as this series has me completely hooked. I'm 26 and I love them.

Magical

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Unreservedly yes! The books stands alone (though readers of other books from the Chrestomanci series, particularly The Lives of Christopher Chant, will appreciate the recurring characters), and I would recommend it to anyone with a taste for YA, or for fantasy in general. It's a well-written book, with good language, vivid characters I'd love to befriend, and a plot that comes together perfectly in a final, surprising - and funny - group confrontation.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Conrad's Fate?

The end, certainly, where all the different threads and characters finally come together in one place. Conrad's adventures with Christopher, however, were also both fun and memorable.

Which character – as performed by Gerard Doyle – was your favorite?

Conrad himself: he's an endearing character, and a believably 12-year old boy. Doyle's characterizations of some of the secondary characters, such as Mr. Amos and Mr. Prendergast, the butlers, were also excellent.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely.

Any additional comments?

Recommended unreservedly: an excellent book that has received the audio treatment it merits.

A clever, magical coming-of-age story
