Thank you to @macmillan.audio #MacAudio2024 and @stephanie_garber for the #gifted audiobook.

This audiobook is a delightful treat for the holiday season, but I found myself wishing it lasted longer. The narrative centers on Tella's quest to find the perfect gift for Legend, taking unexpected twists that kept me intrigued, though some moments felt a bit odd. A longer exploration would have enriched the experience.

Rebecca Soler, the narrator, delivers an outstanding performance, bringing the characters vividly to life. The audio is enhanced with captivating sound effects—trees rustling, doors creaking, bells ringing—which truly immerses you in the story.

Don’t miss out on this charming book and audiobook, both available now!
