About this listen

 Berlin in autumn: Christine Starlight lives in an artists' colony with her lover Jude, whose patience and beauty have eased her battle with chronic pain. But Christine begins to be haunted by childhood recollections of a little girl's disappearance and the flapping of a blackbird's wings. Then her world is rocked by the return of a childhood friend... Mayfridh rules over a land where a wolf is the queen's counsellor, fate turns on the fall of an autumn leaf and mortals feel no pain. As Christine becomes addicted to Mayfridh's world, so Mayfridh grows addicted to Christine's, falling dangerously in love with Jude.©2003 Kim Wilkins.

Critic reviews

"Kim Wilkins has a gift for creating narratives that swivel between the world of fantasy and reality." (The Sydney Morning Herald)

Kim Wilkins is a hugely talented fantasy author. You will probably enjoy her work if you like modern fantasy writers like Neil Gaiman.
This book is great. It's probably not quite as good as Giants of the Frost, but it's pretty close.
The voice acting for this audio book is not very good. Some of it is fine, but the characters with foreign accents (there's a lot in the book) sound awkward and stilted.
Don't let it put you off. It's not terrible just a little annoying. I still enjoyed the experience of the book a great deal.

Amazing book, average voice acting
