About this listen
Karigan G'ladheon always seemed to be getting into a fight, and today was no exception. But as she trudged through the forest, using her long walk home to contemplate her depressing future - and the expulsion it was bound to hold - a horse burst through the woodland and charged straight for her. The rider was slumped over his mount's neck with two arrows embedded in his back. Wherever his horse was taking him, he would be dead before they got there. There's nothing Karigan can do, as the young man lies dying on the road. He had sworn to carry out his mission as a Green Rider - one of the legendary messengers of the king - and he has a life or death message that must reach King Zachary.
Karigan may be unable to save him, but she can deliver his message. He makes her swear to it, to keep it secret and, with his last breath, he warns her to 'beware the shadow man… 'Pursued by an unknown assassin, following a path only her horse seems to know, and accompanied by the silent spectre of the original messenger, Karigan is going to become a legendary Green Rider herself. Caught up in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand, her simple promise to deliver a letter is about to become a race against time… and a race for her life…

Lady books
Would you consider the audio edition of Green Rider to be better than the print version?
Havent read the printed version.
What did you like best about this story?
I didn't expect to love the book this much.
Ive read a lot of female lead fantasy books, this book was a wind of fresh air.
Our protagonist is cool and strong. But it never felt like a power fantasy: She can do all the amazing things she does because she gets a lot of help.
Its just... its well balanced.
And the bad-guys feel terrifying.
Extremely terrifying!
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Hmm.. I really lover everything that happens at the Seven chimneys - we get introduced to the magical side of the world.
But i think i will have to say: When she is caught by the two renegate weapons.
Because it made her not feel "too over powered" to me.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Be honest, be smart, and be kind.
And if possible, also be proficient with a weapon.
Cause the magic is coming back to this world.
So giddy up.
Any additional comments?
We need the rest of the books pronto!

Compelling action packed adventure fantasy
Would you consider the audio edition of Green Rider to be better than the print version?
Don't know, chose this as I can't read print easily - so very unhappy that there are no further audio editions of the remaining titles on the series - SHAME!
This rendition is excellent - compelling, vibrant, and stimulating.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Karigan is the main, and for the first half, pretty much the only character of note. Forced to take on a quest and running for her life she gradually starts to become aware of her powers and her purpose
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Nothing specific, rather the steady build of a medieval-like world under threat, that gradually sucks you in. All the battles scenes were good, edge of the seat reading.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Engrossed and engaged throughout
Any additional comments?

Please Audible can I have some more
I loved these stories as physical books, and this reading of it was true to my memory of them. The only thing that would make this story more enjoyable is if Audible would make available the rest of the stories in the series. As this is a true trilogy and only part one of the entire story. Even so this book will become I re-listen over and over again.
