Amusing, quirky characters and talking animals and plants are narrated well by author Oliver Darkshire in this debut novel. His fast-paced cadence and strong British accent provide an entertaining listening experience. When Isabella decides to try some magic from a stolen spell book, mayhem ensues. Darkshire handles voices well, using pitch and pace variations. His inventive and creative storytelling hints at folklore, mythology, and enchantment. Some listeners may find his narration a little fast, but it suits the story's madcap antics with plenty of twists and turns. With this novel's humor, adventure, and fantasy, fans of Jasper Fforde and Travis Baldree may find a new author to enjoy. C.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2025]
