About this listen
Geoffrey is the orphaned prince of Kaveg. He has chosen to follow a quest to find the fabled "queen with his own heart" who will heal his land. Nanda is an American stage combat choreographer just searching for a reason to live. They find each other, and they lose each other. Together, can they both find what they're looking for?
©2015 Gwendolyn Druyor (P)2015 Gwendolyn DruyorThe story is presented in the first person, set down by the main protagonists in journals which they keep. The writing is beautiful, simply worded but full of description conveyed in a few words, .'like a vegetarian tiger', fresh and colourful. There are battles, good characterisation, and dragons. Yes, I confess, I really do not like dragons, but I put up with them this time, not too high a price to pay for the rest of the story. This is a book to which I know I will return in the future, something I rarely do, especially given the Mobious ending.
My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me with a complimentary copy of Geoffrey s Queen, via F.A.F.A. It was an innovative and unexpected delight. Authors reading their own work can often be a big mistake but Ms.Druyor's narration was a definite success. Her pleasant to hear voice is well modulated, paced to the text perfectly and she gives individual voicing to each of the protagonists, further adding to their character. A good performance of an equally distinctive and unusual book. Perhaps I will now have to brave the dragons once again and read her other Mobious novel, Hardt's Tale.

What did you like most about Geoffrey's Queen?
I like the way the two characters grew throughout the bookWhat was one of the most memorable moments of Geoffrey's Queen?
When they both realized who Kelly was.What does Gwendolyn Druyor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
She brought emphasis to the characters though her narration. She put a great deal of passion into them that print would not have brought out. Her narration was great and added much to the book.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
To realize the frustration that the two characters must have when the book ended and they did not know how their futures would play out.Any additional comments?
This book was provided to me free of charge in exchange for a review.The story was hard to follow at first. This is due to the story being told across two worlds and time lines. In each of these one of the characters knew the other but one did not. It reversed itself in the other reality. It took me most of the book bouncing from one world to the other to figure out what was going on and follow the story. It was overall very entertaining and I stuck with it and was glad when I finished the book.
The quest of the young prince to find his queen was to allow him to not only find his love but to grow to manhood as he was not allowed to do in the palace.
The trials he faced and the meeting of the person who ended up as his love was fraught with peril and missteps.
He also learned during this quest about his own people regardless of who or what they were.
An interesting approach to story telling
