“I binged 7 years worth of this show in about 3 weeks!
The story is excellent and the themes and morals embroidered into the storyline are so poignant and interesting to listen to in the context of the universe.
A must listen!”

I’ve been along for the ride sing 2018 and couldn’t be happier. If you haven’t listened you’re missing out. It is a story for anyone who...”Read full review »

“Binging this while working is what has been keeping me going for weeks. I’m super picky about what is pleasing to my ears. This is FANTASTIC! Also digging the Springsteen references. 😊♥️”

“...that should probably go unanswered, but they're questions. This is a weird and unhinged and HILARIOUS and dramatic story so far and I ADORE it. Thank you to one of the founders of the TOAFN discord for recommending it to me.”Read full review »

I think the rough patch will be smoothed over by your story and characters - just might be a little while until you get the...”Read full review »

“Can’t believe it took me so long to listen to this - it’s fabulous!
Superficially it has all the usual tropes and elements for an epic fantasy fish-out-of-water adventure. But it’s so much more: updated and timely characters with more depth, diversity and inclusiveness than they first appear;...”Read full review »

It’s a great story that’s also not afraid to...”Read full review »

“The Good: It’s well-written and well-acted. The sound design is quite high. The narrator is quite good and and does a good job, even with the fight scenes.
The Bad: While the writing is good, the story is crap. The focus is on the characters to the detriment of the plot. the B-plot of the 1st...”Read full review »

“It’s a fantastic show with notes of game of thrones and lord of the rings, but I would say as good as if not better than both! I just wish the episodes were longer...the story is so good, more than once I’ve caught myself letting out an ‘oh, come on!’ As the ending music plays.”

“i’m a huge fantasy nerd. I’ve read all the classics and listened to many fantasy audiobooks. This holds up against the best of them and has a unique and singular voice that taps into the present moment. It’s woke and gives a powerful voice to female characters. It plays with existing tropes but...”Read full review »
