The kids and I listened to this audio on the way to the Jersey Shore on the weekends, so it took some time to finish it but we absolutely loved it so much. Kathleen McInerney is a fantastic Narrator, she has so many awesome voices and you can always tell which person is talking. She is so fun.
After screwing up Legacy day Raven and Apple are feeling the backlash. Raven is so confused but doesn't want to change her mind and Apple is completely losing her mind trying to find ways to fix everyone story.
The books gives you a few new characters but all the ones you love are back again. Especially Maddy (the Mad Hatters Daughter) My daughter and I just love her and when she "talks" to the Narrator it always makes a laugh. This time Maddy may be in a little trouble and it totally has us so worried about her.
I adore this story so much and my daughter and I want to listen to the next one ASAP. I can't recommend this series enough. Shannon Hale writes an amazing story and Kathleen McInerney just makes it come alive.

Didn't like this one NEARLY as much as the first. I don't like Apple very much and she was unbearable for most of this book. She ended up redeeming herself but still, she was sooooooo annoying for most of it. Loved that Maddie was a focus, but we didn't see her any more as a result, saw her less I'd say. Still, she's adorable!

I love this series so much.
Great writing. Very funny. I really like the complexity of the characters.
As with the first book, I enjoyed this book more than the TV series. I vaguely remember season two of the show, but from what I remember, most of what happened in the book did not happen in the show. I liked the book version better. It really set up the next book nicely.
I really enjoy this series. It is very simple, yet also complex in its philosophy of choice vs. destiny.

Apple character development everyone! (And I’m here for it) This book’s definitely the weakest of the series, but it was needed for necessary plot points in the later books, plus Apple’s character development.
Cerise continues to be a badass strong af wolf girl and I’m loving it.
I do however hate the numerous times where “he or she” is said. Just say they man.

Still good. I'm impressed by the depth of discussions of what it means to be good or evil, to make choices, and to have the desire for safety, as well as the growth to understand that the world has a lot of grey areas. (Bonus learning how to be a competent leader in multiple ways that aren't toxic.)

I am amazed by how much I truly enjoyed this book. I love what Shannon Hale is doing with her characters--particularly Raven Queen & Apple White. I was a tad bored by the riddle-ingredient-gathering after about the third one, but not enough to stop reading.
The depth of the characters is the true genius in a series that will appeal on a mass market level to the female tweenage audience. It offers them "girl friend" storylines that still embody strong values and the inner strength to believe in yourself, make your own choices and still be aware that your choices have ramifications for others and require compassion and effort in their behalf as well.
My daughter has just turned 10 and I have highly recommended this series to her and her peers.
