Once-Upon-Thyme - Single-Narrator Audiobook

Great audiobook, really fun story

This was a really cute, quirky, and cozy fairy‑tale story. We meet the main character, Adrianna, a princess who doesn’t actually want to be one because that would mean following the expected storyline. She lives in a quirky castle that she loves dearly. Her evil stepmother is actually sweet, just a little scatterbrained, and her “evil” stepsister is genuinely lovely and kind. Adrianna sets off on an adventure to find a dragon and help save her family. Along the way, she’s joined by a few more mischievous characters, and together they try to change their fates. I listened to the audiobook, which the author generously uploaded, and it was such a fun listen. I really enjoyed the narration. I really enjoyed it. In the end, you learn that we don’t have to be perfect or fit into a prescribed role, we’re all different, and that’s more than okay.

I recommend this audiobook.

Liked it. I come from the country of Hans Christian Andersen and have a special interest in and a special relationship with fairy tales. This was entertaining. Took a while to get used to the writing style.

A fun room with unconventional characters

I enjoyed this story of misfits forging their own paths.
