NETTLE & BONE

Narrator Amara Jasper faithfully delivers an audiobook filled with fairy-tale magic. Princess Marra's oldest sister dies under mysterious circumstances only months after her marriage. Her second sister is married to the same prince, and when his abuse comes to light, Princess Marra embarks on a perilous quest with a gravewitch, her fairy godmother, an exiled knight, a dog made of bones, and a demon-possessed chicken. Jasper's unhurried pace and impassive tone perfectly complement the dry humor throughout the audiobook. Her skill and commitment to creating diverse voices offer listeners distinct and emotionally connected characters, as well as unique bird caws. She easily immerses listeners in the story and keeps them hooked to the end. A.K.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2022]
