Wingfeather Saga, Book 1
I'd heard good things about this series, especially the excitement when fans learned it would be turned into an animated series.
Fun story. Clever, rather punny naming choices. I listened to this audiobook over the course of maybe 2 weeks, and I'm very curious to get hold of a print copy and see the spelling of some of those names.
Sometimes I was tempted to make up errands so I could spend time in my car, listening!
Heartbreaking in places. Hold-your-breath scenes of danger. Lots of places to boo the disgusting lizard-creature villains -- and cheer when they get their comeuppance!
The story starts in a kingdom dominated and oppressed by the vicious lizards called Fangs. A poor but noble and loving little family struggles to survive, until one unfair and unkind event after another lands on them and forces them to be brave, and start asking some really hard questions. Janner, the oldest boy, learns hard lessons, some of them heartbreaking, but they are preparing him for a noble destiny.
Looking forward to listening to the next Wingfeather selection, a collection of short stories!
