About this listen

After years of searching, Finn has finally found the motherload. Unfortunately, there’s no way to get it home. And he’s got to meet John Wayne.

Stranded and alone in Denver, Colorado, Finn and his partner Penny (a foot and a half long Faerie Dragon) search for friends and allies in this strange new land.

But something about this place isn’t right. Magic has gone underground, and has anyone seen John Wayne?

Lucky for Finn he’s a Dwarf, and underground is where he does his best work.

Join Finn, Penny, and their new friends on an adventure that spans the globe and holds the fate of an entire planet in its twists and turns. And just maybe a tall Dwarf and a small dragon can find their place in the universe.

I read this book when it was released earlier on this year and loved it (and the next 3 books that followed).

I was very excited to see that it had been released on audio and bought it and listened to it straight away.

Finnegan Dragonbender is a Dwarf, who stands at 6ft 5in short lol. His companion is Penny, a very rare and special Faery Dragon.

Finnegan has been searching for the lost ship earth for a long time so he can meet his idol, John Wayne.

Finn and Penny finally find earth and crash land. Thinking everyone aboard the lost ship (earth) still has magic, he gets confused and calls people peabrains (the term for an awakened magical person). Everyone takes offense at this as it is now seen as an insult.

Finn then meets Mila and the adventures begin. Although her peabrain hasn't awoken, she can see his rune tattoos on his face. Finn can't sense any magic in her, so what is she?

Plenty of action and snark in this book.

I have never listened to this narrator before but Austin does an excellent job on the narration, especially when he's doing Penny's chirps and shrees, and he keeps the story flowing nicely.

This book is from the Terranavis Universe, which also includes The Adventures of Maggie Parker, The Witches of Pressler Street and The Lone Valkyrie.

If you need background on what peabrains are and why the earth is a (space) ship, I recommend you start with The Adventures of Maggie Parker.
