I had first listened to this ages ago, not too long after it came out in 2006. I finally found it again, and it was every bit as wonderful the second time. I really don’t see getting tired of it if I listen again and again. I wouldn’t get tired of his voice either. I can’t remember if I have...Read full review »

Good story. Unexpected twists. Funny real life anecdotes. This was my second time listening. Glad I found it again.

I don't know why adults are sheepish about enjoying "young adult" literature. I didn't want my kids reading bad writing at any age; I didn't buy lousy baby books all the way through … well, whenever I stopped buying them books. After all, how many big fantasies are written...Read full review »

I may not be the target audience, having been a teenager well before these books were a thought, but I am an avid listener of books on tape. This book, as well as the two others in the series, is at the top of my list for books in this genre. I highly recommend a listen no matter what your age!

I first listened to this book when I was I think 8, and Ive loved it ever since. I’ve listened to it at least 20 times since then. Amazing book.

I loved this ‘ podiobook’ it was a great escape. If you’re looking for something you have never heard before, this won’t be it unless you have never read a fantasy book in your life. That said, this was a well done fun adventure story well worth your time. It is falls under the young adult...Read full review »

I love fantasy novels and I put this book in the same league as the Dresden files! Good work John 👍

Not what I had expected at first, but this is a good Young Adult works long as you treat it and judge it as such.

One of the best books I have ever listened to.

I really enjoyed this story and the mythology behind it. The characters were likeable and the plot moved quickly. I can’t wait to jump into Hazel and Oak and see where book 2 leads.
ManofSteel27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/18
Absolutely love this book!! It is so awesome I’ve been listening to it for probably as long as it’s been out, my whole family does. Every time I listen to it it’s just as great. The Second book is just as great, have yet to hit the third. This series is basically a lifetime favorite and highly...Read full review »

The whole trilogy is amazing and inventive. Thoroughly enjoyed this book!
CJ347 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/10/17
This is a review for the entire series so far but everything said is applicable to the first: Giving something 5 stars does not mean it is perfect - nor is Shadowmagic. The corresponding descriptions for the stars lower than 5 are simply inadequate. Shadowmagic is better than "Ok" or "Good". ...Read full review »

I am in love with this podiocast. I wish the books didn't end. These books took me to another world that had my soul wishing it really exists. The humor is tasteful and gives a very hearty laugh to the listener. Of all the books I've listened to and deleted, I will forever stay subscribed...Read full review »

This is only the second audio book that I have listened to, and it is great. I immediately listened to the second book in the trilogy and then bought the trilogy in paperback. I highly recommend this book.

Hooked the whole family
Teacher123789 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/15
This was a great audiobook I generally cannot get into a story unless I have started to read it first; however, the author does such an amazing job at reading the story that my attention was held the entire time and I ended up finishing the audiobook before my actual book arrived in the mail....Read full review »

I really enjoyed this book. Found it kind of back accident and gobbled both books immediately. Highly recommend!

I have rarely found such a combination. I will purchase anything from john lanahan
brownclan0300 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/14
I enjoyed everything about this book, the series really. Well, the first two anyway, but if the third is only half as good it would still deserve the same praise. A wonderful narrator is just icing in the cake!

Corah27 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/24/13
...which is a big deal. When finding an audio story, I look for 3 things right away - a good and engaging story, the reader's voice and tone, and their ability to create the story using their voice. If they don't have these things, I don't typically listen for long. John Lenahan...Read full review »

I really enjoyed the book. The author did a wonderful job at narrating his work. I found my self laughing out loud several times. Looking forward to more in the series
Lovesangelrn_28 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/12
Can't possibly recommend this one enough. Yeah, it's kind of a kids book, but it's incredibly fun, and very engaging. John does a great job reading his book, and his passion for his work certainly shows. Thanks again for a wonderful book John.Read full review »
