About this listen
Heather and Picket are extraordinary rabbits with ordinary lives until calamitous events overtake them, spilling them into a cauldron of misadventures. They discover that their own story is bound up in the tumult threatening to overwhelm the wider world.
Kings fall, and kingdoms totter. Tyrants ascend, and terrors threaten. Betrayal beckons, and loyalty is a broken road with peril around every bend.
Where will Heather and Picket land? How will they make their stand?

Janner, Tink, and Leeli Igiby thought they were normal children with normal lives and a normal past. But now they know they're really the Lost Jewels of Anniera, heirs to a legendary kingdom across the sea, and suddenly everyone wants to kill them. In order to survive, the Igibys must flee to the safety of the Ice Prairies, where the lizardlike Fangs of Dang cannot follow. First, however, they have to escape the monsters of Glipwood Forest, the thieving Stranders of the East Ben, and the dreaded Fork Factory.

In Holy Hygge, author Jamie Erickson unites the popular Danish practice with the deep theological truths of the gospel. She unpacks the seven tenets of hygge: hospitality, relationships, well-being, atmosphere, comfort, contentment, and rest. In addition, Erickson shows how the external veneer of a lifestyle can create a life-giving home only when placed under the hope of the gospel. Holy Hygge provides practical ideas for using hygge to gather people and introduce them to faith in Christ.

Set in the pre-Christian world of Glome on the outskirts of Greek civilization, it is a tale of two princesses: the beautiful Psyche, who is loved by the god of love himself, and Orual, Psyche's unattractive and embittered older sister, who loves Psyche with a destructive possessiveness. Her frustration and jealousy over Psyche's fate sets Orual on the troubled path of self-discovery. Lewis's last work of fiction, this is often considered his best by critics.

Great story, good narrator. Warning: every chapter ends in a cliff hanger so stop midchapter if you don't want your kids begging for more! (they still will but they will be slightly less desperate)

A new classic in juvenile-medieval-animal.
Compares well to coming-of-age fantasy series like Harry Potter, Wingfeather, etc.
Not quite Tolkien, though obviously not trying to be that.
The theme of rebuilding and cooperation and trust really worked and makes me excited to read more of these and give them to my kids. Civilization goals, to be sure.
The family drama plot works quite well. I'm not sure the big "surprise" plot point works as well as it could have, but maybe I missed some nuances that would help the names make more sense and the secret be more believable.
The political intrigue concepts — honor, dishonour, loyalty — are handled in a much more satisfying way than is typical in the genre. I hope for some great payoffs in this regard. I recommend the book for this point alone.
I liked the use of alliterative metre in passages early on, though it wasn't quite consistent enough to really pay off in a high-art kind of way.
The pseudo-medieval pseudo-naturalistic setting was fine, but I really hope Smith gets more invested in the world building.
***
Narration: Clarkson does a great job with the villains, and his take on the song brought a tear to my eye.
That said, his narration is a bit wooden, and I think a few lines missed the intended emphasis altogether. I'll assume he's working without a coach or director and say: I look forward to hearing an improvement in later readings. I know how difficult reading is, but these are full-priced Audible releases so I expected a bit more polish on the performance.
