Dana (24 KP) rated The Sleeper and the Spindle: Winner of the Cilip Kate Greenaway Medal 2016 in Books

Mar 23, 2018

This was a really cool adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. I love the dark twist (in opposition to the Disney, not the Grimm) Gaiman gives the story. I listened to the audio book and it was more of a story play than a regular reading of the story itself. All I can say was it was incredible. Great job Gaiman! I can't wait to see if you do something like this again!

My preferred eReader app

I was an early adopter of the Kindle and now use the Kindle App on my Android Tablet. Combining the eReader with Audible allows you to jump between an audio book and the written word with ease.

Also, just as an added benefit the text size adjustment is very intuitive and easy to resize on the go. Great for when you are changing between devices.

Poor sound quality (0 more)

I really wanted to enjoy Spotify. Unfortunately, it's had poor sound quality on every device I've tried it on. I've tried all kinds of audio settings and it doesn't seem to work. Yes, it has a wide variety of music that I love but it's not worth it if it all sounds muddy.

Give me more Darkling

Just some rough thoughts:
Amazing writing, complex storyline but not hard to follow with deep and wonderfully developed characters. This was quickly absorbing and totally unpredictable. The description was perfectly pitched, not too heavy but I was able to paint the world easily in my mind. I listened on audio and the narration was superb.

I favour the Darkling. Does that make me dark?

Really enjoyed, characters are in depth and believable.
I know the plot of most low fantasy doesn't end up going where you think it will but I really loved this and all of the first law series + it's spin offs ( can't wait for the next series!!)
I would also recommend getting on audio book as S Pacey does a great job of bringing all the characters to life!
