About this listen

Anne of Green Gables meets Diana Wynne Jones in this whimsical fantasy adventure perfect for teen readers.

I don’t know who you are, or why you need me, but you hurt her again and I will make you pay…

Alice has lived in the forest on the fringes of Alder Vale ever since her parents abandoned her. Alone, exiled, and feared by all. All except Lily.

Nature has always been Lily’s tonic, and she never feels more alive than when she’s amidst the trees. It was Alice who first called them the sisters of shadow, Lily the sunshine to her moonlight, for neither can exist without the other.

But something is stirring beyond the mountains. Whispers of spectres stalking the moors, women of unfathomable power luring children into a cult that has haunted local lore for a generation.

When Alice disappears, Lily knows she must rescue her or risk losing her forever.

Because the rumours were true all along…

Exile.

Monster.

Witch.

Narration lets the story down

Written for young adults, I found the dialog a little too simplistic - But then I’m not a young adult!
The book is read slowly, and at times mechanically.
This spoiled the experience for me.
The accents and voice pitches for main characters weren’t a great leap, so I wasn’t as immersed in the story as I have with other audio books.
The story was a little predictable, but still enjoyable.
It’s great to see a young adult story with a lesbian theme that was treated as a normal romantic relationship.
Other characters in the book were excepting and non judgmental (as it should be in real life!).
Will listen to the next book, as I’m curious to see how it continues 😊

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
