Summary
Karigan G'ladheon always seemed to be getting into a fight, and today was no exception. But as she trudged through the forest, using her long walk home to contemplate her depressing future - and the expulsion it was bound to hold - a horse burst through the woodland and charged straight for her. The rider was slumped over his mount's neck with two arrows embedded in his back. Wherever his horse was taking him, he would be dead before they got there. There's nothing Karigan can do, as the young man lies dying on the road. He had sworn to carry out his mission as a Green Rider - one of the legendary messengers of the king - and he has a life or death message that must reach King Zachary.
Karigan may be unable to save him, but she can deliver his message. He makes her swear to it, to keep it secret and, with his last breath, he warns her to 'beware the shadow man… 'Pursued by an unknown assassin, following a path only her horse seems to know, and accompanied by the silent spectre of the original messenger, Karigan is going to become a legendary Green Rider herself. Caught up in a world of deadly danger and complex magic, compelled by forces she cannot understand, her simple promise to deliver a letter is about to become a race against time… and a race for her life…

Narrator leaves something to be desired…
The novel itself is fantastic however the narration leaves something to be desired. The dialogue is entirely read in a terrible pseudo English accent at varying rates of success but rest assured that all are annoying. It’s such a shame because the plot immediately grabbed me and I loved the world building. I will be seeking out the book so I can revisit it without having to hear this audiobook again.

Second rate fantasy
I was recommended this book but found it only OK. The good guys were all perfect, the bad, evil, with nothing in between leading to cartoon characters and no real plot development.

Absolutely loved it!
The narration was impressive - the narrator managed to make sure every voice was different, going as far as singing and although female, managing to make the men's voices sound masculine.
I was very much in love with the story as well, the main character being her lovable spunky self.
Only disappointment is that although the following books are on the US audible, this is the book of the entire series available on the UK audible. Seriously! Give me more!!

A generous collection of terrible accents
It’s very distracting listening to SO MANY characters depicted in weird UK accents ( none of which are consistent or accurate.. you can only guess the location). The narrators actual voice itself sounds like a character from Little House on the Prairie. I expect if you aren’t from the UK you will not notice it
What a shame. Story is ok-ish. A little long-winded

Superb story of a young woman, riding an adventure
Karigan Gladheon has been expelled from school and runs away home to tell her father before anyone else does, to put her side of the story, but she meets a Green Rider who is dying from 2 black arrows in his back. She is sworn to take a message to the King of her own Sacoridia, dodging her evil chasers and tormentors to ride the wild ride.
This is a lovely grown ups fairy tale/fantasy story that I first read 8+ years ago and have since read all other Green Rider books in the series because they are fabulously escapist and lifting, exciting and amazing.
If you enjoyed The Hunger Games then you will like this better.

Loved it
Second time listening to this and still brilliant. The only difference now is that Audible have finally added the remaining books in the series so I can continue the story.
