About this listen

Briar doesn't believe in once upon a time....

Her whole life, Briar has been told about her fate, but she doesn't believe a word. Now she's forced to go to Grimm Academy along with all the other fairy tale characters trying to avoid their tales.

When she finds a spindle in one of the tallest towers, she begins to believe, but is it already too late?

Welcome to Grimm Academy, where fairy tale characters go to escape their foretold fate.

Spindles and Spells is the first book of the Grimm Academy series and is based on the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty. This includes an m/f (non-RH, non-bully) romance.

This is an excellent adaptation of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale, but the narrator, Maryanne M. Wells, has the most annoying voice that it’s very off putting. I’d say persist and you soon learn to live with the voice and enjoy the story!

Excellent story but annoying narrator

Before listening to this book i had the privilege of reading the book and was so excited to hear how Briar turned out. Unfortunately, I didn't like the narration, my personal opinion is that she sounded like the female version of an overexaggerated William Shatner. There were moments when she wasn't putting on an RP voice for Briar that were lovely but I was disappointed with the overall impression of Briar thay came across. The story is wonderful, the depiction of the dark fairy is spot on and the length is just right. If you love fairy-tales then give this story ago.

A wonderful take on a classic tale
