About this listen

Sequel to The Consumption of Magic

Nearly a year ago, blinded by grief and betrayal, Sam of Wilds made a desperate decision to follow the Great White into the Dark Woods. Now, he emerges to a world changed.

The City of Lockes is a prison. The King has been locked away in the dungeons. The Kingdom of Verania has fallen, and the Dark wizard Myrin sits on the throne.

But soon after his return, Sam learns of a resistance fighting in his name, led by a courageous knight, a defiant prince, a pissed-off unicorn, and a half-giant who wants to smash everything in sight. If he has any hope of defeating the villains who have taken their home, Sam must face the consequences of his choices - and the friends he left behind.

Amazing!

This is the final book in the Tales From Verania series and it was just amazing as the previous three! Michael Lesley really outdid himself with the narration in this book, as there are so many characters! And none of them sounded the same at all -- really easy to distinguish between them.

If you're looking for a hilarious queer book, pick up this series ASAP!

Do yourself a favour and listen to this!

The Tales from Verania series are fantastically narrated by Michael Lesley. Being the last in the series, if you’ve gotten this far then don’t stop and keep listening.

Excellent story testing a raft of LGBT+ characters. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll miss Sam when the book finishes.

Thank you TJ for your amazing stories.

Awesome isn't A strong enough word for this book. The narrator blew it out of the ball park and TJ had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. What an ending to a fabulous series

Best narrator to have ever narrated

This is a great book but I don't even care about that because Michael Lesley is so brilliantly awesome in his narration that I wouldn't have noticed if it was pure drivel (which it SO isn't, because TJ Klune doesn't write bad stuff, ever.)
Michael Lesley rocks so hard.
I've listened to a lot of Audibles and have liked some narrators very much. Michael Lesley is to the rest of narrators like Yoda is to Luke before he even knew about the Force was a thing.
I can't really call it narration. He acted this book out with perfection. Every character had such distinct and clear voice of their own, I didn't need any help telling them apart. The sound effects were cool too.
OMG, the song!!!
I laughed so hard, I was sobbing and in pain afterward. I had to rewind several times because I kept missing lyrics from laughing too loud. Actually, that happened several times during the book.
Is there some sort of award for best narrator, because he should get it immediately. Also, I am now going to buy everything he's ever narrated - I don't even care what it is.
TJ Klune, who?!
Michael Lesley 4ever!

I listened to this in one go. Yes - the whole 18 and half hours - including the ridiculous sound effect credits at the end. I can't imagine you actually need me to say that I recommend this.

PS I was kidding about TJ bit. I love him too. The ability to be both funny and heartbreaking in the same sentence requires pure genius and he does it with seeming effortlessness. This author-narrator pairing is Blessed By The Gods.
I capitalized that so now it's true.

Fabulous series

What a fabulous ending/epilogue to A Wish Upon the Stars - The audios have all been so amazing to listen to, the narrator Michael Lesley is now right up the top of my favourite narrators list.

So much to love about all of these characters - Tiggy will always be my favourite, but Sam kept me entertained with his antics & banter with EVERYONE that crossed his path........HaveHeart forever!!

Phenomenally entertaining

This is probably one of the most enjoyable series I have ever come across. Both the writing and narration constantly had me in stitches and the story arc is both gorgeous and escapist. I loved it.

Not expected for a fictional fantasy story

Not what I expected when I read the description of the Story. Narrator was not to my liking but that aside the story is quite vulgar and I can barely pay attention to it. Shame, it had potential.
