Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,292
Hulde is a queen’s daughter and lives in a palace. But her life is lonely. Growing up atop the glass mountain, she knows only her violent and autocratic mother and a household of terrified servants. Then a white bear named Rune comes to visit, and Hulde learns what kindness is. But the queen has a plan for Hulde. When she turns 16, she will wed the most beautiful man in all the world. Hulde has never met her intended husband, and her mother refuses to explain the arrangement.

A Norwegian fairy tale transformed by two huge talents
You don’t need to know East of the Sun, West of the Moon
to enjoy Beautiful, but listeners who remember the fairy tale will appreciate the twist at the beginning of this Audible Original. The plot twist sends the tale spinning in a new—and deeper—direction. With the glass mountain (and other realms), Juliet Marillier—as she did in her Sevenwaters series—creates a world of simple rules but emotional complexity in Beautiful. Gemma Dawson’s artistry brings Hulde to life as a sympathetic heroine.

Twelve-year-old Manuel leaves his small town in Mexico to join his older brother in Los Angeles. To cross the US border, he must become a “beast rider” - someone who hops on a train. The first time he tries, he is stopped by the Mexican police, who arrest and beat him. When he tries again, he is attacked by a Mexican gang and left for dead. Just when Manuel is ready to turn back, he finds new hope.

To the border and beyond
About a decade ago I read a novel about a teen boy’s attempt to cross from Mexico to California by riding on the top of a train. It’s a story that’s stayed with me and I’ve wondered how things might have changed for train-jumpers in recent years. That’s why Beast Rider jumped out at me from the list of new releases. The creative trinity behind this story (award-winning children’s author, Oaxaca-based therapist and translator, and Latino narrator) seems ideal to tell the story of a young man’s dangerous attempt to pursue his dreams of a better future. I added it to my wish list without pausing, steeling myself for the challenging listen ahead.

A new Sanderson? Bye world! See you in a few days!
There's a lot of reasons why I'm a faithful listener of Brandon Sanderson. His ingenious magic systems, fully fleshed-out worlds, and bomb-diggity characters are just a few of the elements that keep me coming back for more. Simply put, to use a writer’s phrase, Sanderson takes care of the reader. I trust that every story written by him is going to be a good story, and Skyward is no exception, despite the fact that it's his first space opera and there's zero magic. Told from the perspective of a soon-to-be sixteen-year-old scrappy cadet named Spensa (who reminds me a lot of Mistborn’s Vin), this is a YA novel, but it has the same addictive ingredients as any Sanderson novel. I'd call that another win for an author who can do no wrong.

YA Sci Fi with a whiney main character
- By Tree on 02-21-19
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Planning to land on an unexplored planet with your family is one thing, crash landing without your parents is something completely different. This middle grade adventure reminds me of some of my favorite survival stories—think The Martian meets Hatchet. The narrator, Jesse Einstein vividly expresses all of the wonder, anxiety, and bravery that Micah (our space castaway) experiences on every step of his unplanned adventure—and he made me feel like I should probably invest in my own space survival kit…just in case. And to top things off, lucky for Audible members this month, there's no credit required to listen.

The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school - that is, it would be if every school taught advanced martial arts in PE and the latest in chemical warfare in science, and students received extra credit for breaking CIA codes in computer class. The Gallagher Academy might claim to be a school for geniuses, but it's really a school for spies.
