Altogether a favorite read of mine.
I don't factor performance into auidiobooks, but I'd give Lynn Redgrave a 4/5 stars. Her narration is very good, but her dialogue isn't varied enough to be engaging, and when it is, some of the voices can come off as overdone or even annoying.
Minor: Sexism, Blood, Murder, Abandonment, Adult/minor relationship, Animal death, Fire/Fire injury, Infidelity, Misogyny, Alcohol, Rape, Animal cruelty, Car accident, Death, Grief, Physical abuse, Sexual violence, and Sexual assault
All of these are either barely mentioned or just alluded to. Very minor stuff.kryolitee's review against another edition

Though I didn’t expect to like the book as much I did, given that I’ve read a few other series with a very similar premise (“Pages and Co.”, by Anna James, and “Story Thieves”, by James Riley, to name two), i surprised myself by enjoying this book very much, and i even plan on reading the sequel soon! (I also now realize that “Inkheart”, is one of the blueprints for the stories i’ve mentioned above lol)chloereadds's review against another edition
