About this listen
The first instalment in the award-winning Rowan of Rin fantasy series for children.
Bravest heart will carry on when sleep is death and hope is gone.
Rowan doesn't believe he has a brave heart. But when the river that supports his village of Rin runs dry, he must join a dangerous journey to its source in the forbidden Mountain.
To save Rin, Rowan and his companions must conquer not only the Mountain's many tricks but also the fierce dragon that lives at its peak.

Fantastic listen
Seriously great list, the performance is great; audio quality is great; and the story is amazing. It's very reminiscent of the classic hero's journey with some fantastic metaphors and details that makes it standout and have an impact. Highly recommended.

Short, Soothing and Sensational
This story was read to me when I was young, but I feel that as a classic story it holds up. Rachael Blake has a very soothing voice that made me relax almost instantly, and she is quite talented with differentiations between characters. A small criticism is that musical pieces in between took me out of the story as opposed to engaging. Otherwise really great

Thoroughly enjoyed
Great to find a story that entertains and teaches with balanced ease.
Love that the shyest is the hero, that team work is encouraged and love for all living things is imparted.
And a great adventure 😊

Read as a teen… still enjoyed as an adult
Wonderful story… twists and turns, great character development and encourages inclusivity and self confidence. Always loved the charters and particularly the rhyming prophecies in this book. Recto end this series.

Review of “Roman of Rin”
I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book.
The Narrator did an excellent job of portraying the different characters with just the simplest of changes in tone. It means a lot to me because I lost someone very close to me at an early age and it was the first of many books to help me process feelings (escaping into the narrative). I searched high and low for the rest of the series and I was happy to spend what little money I made from my first job on them.
I will most definitely be attaining the rest of the series as audio books and I can only hope that they have been adapted as well as this has.
Thank you.
5 stars!

Phenomenal!!
This series has always been a warm and happy part of my childhood as many Emily Rodda books have. As a young Australian these stories has always driven my dream to be an author. I may not be an author but they still hold an important place in who I became and I will always love them.
Additionally the performance was wonderful, the reader spoke with such softness and yet the danger, alarm and action of the story isn't lost within the breathy tones. Each character had a specific undertone that made it that I would recognise which character was speaking before the story revealed it. And it was reminiscent of when I used to read the stories to my younger siblings, making sure to give each character a different voice.
As a whole it was a beloved tale brought to life by wonderful story telling and I am sure to jump straight into the next book of the series.
