When Wendy Everly first discovers the truth about herself—that she's a changeling switched at birth—she knows her life will never be the same. Now she’s about to learn that there’s more to the story…. She shares a closer connection to her Vittra rivals than she ever imagined—and they’ll stop at nothing to lure her to their side. With the threat of war looming, her only hope of saving the Trylle is to marry a powerful royal. But that means walking away from Finn, her handsome bodyguard who’s strictly off limits… and Loki, a Vittra prince with whom she shares a growing attraction.

Clara Gardner has recently learned that she's part angel. Having angel blood run through her veins not only makes her smarter, stronger, and faster than humans (a word, she realizes, that no longer applies to her), but it means she has a purpose, something she was put on this earth to do. Figuring out what that is, though, isn't easy.

Light and Fun!
I never expected this series to be so entertaining and addictive when I first bought Switched. The characters are interesting and the plot twists aren’t as predictable as most in this genre. However, this book is not for everyone. It’s like The Princess Diaries with trolls in it. If you are looking for something lighthearted and fun, this book would be a great choice, but if you’re looking for something darker and more intense, I would suggest The Vampire Academy Series or The Infernal Devices Trilogy.

I listened to this book over 6 years ago and have been saying I was going to listen again because I remembered really liking it. My feelings have not changed! I love how original this world is and even if it has the same feel as a movie I've seen, the paranormal aspect makes it a completely different story.
The characters are all great. You may love one and then hate the same one within the span of one book but that is what makes it great to me. You don't know who to trust, who is good and who is bad, besides Wendy of course! She has been thrown into a world she didn't even know existed but her life finally make sense once she knows about the Trylle. I am not a fan of magic in book but these are more abilities even if they call it magic so it works perfectly for me. Can't wait to start book 2.
The narration is awesome! Therese Plummer is my #1 favorite narrator and I remember wondering if she could pull off YA and I have to say YES she can and she does it perfectly. Great narration choice!

Tween Fantasy at Its Worst
I have a confession to make: I'm about 35 years older than the target audience, but I have an inordinate fondness for children's and YA fantasy. Sometimes I just don't want to deal with moral ambiguities, gratuitous sex, excessive violence, vicious politics, interpersonal cruelty, or real-world ugliness. However, YA fantasy, particularly that which targets tween and teen girls, has its own set of hazards: flat and unbelievable characterization, uninspired and contrived plots, awkward dialogue--and, worst of all, indoctrination into a belief system in which females are helpless, stupid, incapable of sensible actions, and utterly lost without their boyfriends.
The premise of _The Trylle Trilogy_ is promising, if far from original: changelings are real, only the cuckoo species is more like the fairies of folk tradition than the fairies/elves/fae of modern fantasy; the author refers to, and seems to be inspired by, Troll dolls. In execution, _Switched_ would be excusable only if it were written by a 13 year-old (or perhaps by someone who started writing the books circa age 13.) For an adult writer, the story is irresponsible pandering to the worst aspects of tween fiction.
In a break with modern tween tradition, the heroine doesn't even start off smart and spunky before finding Her One True Love and becoming vapid and clingy. She's whiny, dependent, and clueless from the very beginning and stays that way. Her loyalty is simply transferred from her overly protective big brother to her mysterious love-at-first-sight boyfriend. Alas, while the reader is told that this love interest is older, wiser, and experienced in teaching the ways of the Trylle to recovered changelings--he is apparently also so distracted by his overwhelming forbidden passion for the lovely princess [yes, of course she turns out to be a princess] that he fails to brief her on politics, social structure, basic etiquette, what will happen at her Christening ball, etc. Wendy thus flails helplessly from one situation to another. These situations include a number of incidents involving sleeping overnight with boys she met just weeks before. Just sleeping, of course--this is YA fiction, after all--but it seems implausible that a girl would reach the age of 17, be wary of gropers and dirty old men, engage in various seductive overtures, and still not have the sense to avoid compromising, possibly dangerous, situations. As appears to be traditional in [bad, irresponsible] YA romances, there is much obsessing about kissing, wanting to be kissed, and not being able to survive without the boyfriend; and also rapturous kissing scenes.
We Americans tend to be uptight about sex education, but given that the average age of puberty has dropped over the past few decades and schools now have to contend with pregnant 5th and 6th graders in the classroom--isn't it about time writers were a little more careful about the behaviors they promote? Would it be so difficult to have their boy-crazy heroines worry for even a brief moment about possible consequences? Could this, perhaps, be included in romance-writers guidelines?
The narrator of _Switched_, Therese Plummer, does a great job at the narration, reading with feeling, distinct (but not distracting) character voices, and accurate phrasing. However, even the best narrator cannot induce suspension of disbelief if the author has not done his or her job.

Beautifully told!
Whe I first listened to this book, I thought I wasn't going to like the narrator. But I ended up LOVING HER and the story! While it's a little "young reader" and the main character does make some silly descisions I truly loved this story... It was beautiful and I read all three it was so good!
Definitely recommend if you like Young Adult/Teen Syfy Fantasy.

The Princess Diaries with trolls
Overall this was just an ok listen for me. There wasn't anything really wrong with the book, but I just didn't care for the writing style. In my opinion there are better books out there in the YA fantasy/romance category.
The narration was really good, which is mostly why I kept listening to this one until the end. This wasn't my favorite book but it wasn't the worst either.
Overall 3 stars for me.

Nope, Chuck Testa
The last time I complained as much through a book was when I read New Moon from the Twilight series. Having a similar vague style to Twilight, this author failed to make me sympathetic to the main character by creating a typical teenage girl who conveniently had very little personality and was often more confused than the audience. The writing style was littered with too many 'he said' 'she said' 'I exclaimed' as if dialogue was not obvious to the audience. It was crowded with unnecessary details, like what the chandelier was doing and then lacked other details like anything about Tryll history or important to plot info. Motivations are foggy, characters are bones and shadows, and I ended up annoyed at best with everyone.
Then the plot became a little fleshy. Started to show a little skin, as it were. It became tolerable, then a half hour later the main character realizes what I knew all along (a frustrating anticlimactic moment) and ends this book. Nope, Chuck Testa.
I see it is a series, but I won't make the same mistake as Twilight and instead will just end this adventure now.
The reader probably did what she could with the novel. She whispered the bits that were not dialogue and all the men characters sounded the same.
So, if you are looking for a novel that piggybacks Twilight but in the world of Trolls instead of Vampires, pick it up. If you want something less mind numbing, seek elsewhere.

The narrators' voice was superb for Wendy
Amanda Hocking has done it again. I loved this book. I had problems in identifying with Wendy. Her mood swings and temper in our world is not to be seen in the Trylle kingdom. She loves Matt and her aunt to bits and when surrounding by Trylle she spends very little if any time thinking about them. That said. She is a typical teenager and I loved her new world.
The one thing I loved most was the parental emotional removal so prevalent in Wendy's life. Her host mother as well as her own was written as …. well let's stick to emotionally distant. The author did this so well that even though I had trouble finding something to like about Wendy my sympathy for her won out at the end. I will definitely read book 2.

This story gives an excellent twist to Troll society. I loved the fast pace and twists with more to come. To think that trolls and such like live amongst us would be fascinating. Down loading the next part of this trilogy right now !

Loved the book all my life, well since I first read it at age of 10.
But now in sixth form its harder to find time to read, and so I thought lets get the audio book of my fave book so I dont have to pay attention too much since I know it so well. Unfortunately I'm not sure I like how its read. Therese isnt bad, and may just be my english-ness talking, but the pronunciation was weird, especially considering in Kanin chronicles there's literally a pronunciation guide. Either way, I still love the book

Impressed
Where does Switched rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I had already read Switched and the next two books in the trilogy, Torn and Ascend, and they had drawn me in and made me completely addicted, I was excited to read the third book i sat and wouldn't move till i had read the entire thing.
But Switched definitely drew me into this whole world straight away, I enjoyed the characters and their relationships, no one in this book is perfect, they all have flaws, and in some cases a lot of flaws, but you still relate to them and still feel for them.
The actual story line was very addictive, i was never sat there thinking i could just put this down for a bit and pick it up later as its dragging on now, I was always completely adamant that i could read another paragraph, another page, another chapter.

Switched, by Amanda Hocking
This was such an amazing novel!! The plot was great. The book like most novels, starts off abit slow but it soon gets more interesting to the point where you just want to keep on reading. I fell in love with some of the characters and I wished at one point that I've lived in their world. The narrating was really good, she brought the characters to life. I believed they were real. Overall, I would definitely recommend you reading this novel by Amanda Hocking. You will not be disappointed, I promise you.
