Any additional comments?
"The Six and the Crystals of Ialana", written by Kaitlynn Brooke, is a brief, but solid fantasy fiction page-turner. Taking place in the fantasy land of Ialana, we follow along with the group of six main characters as they find and restore the lost crystals. The ensemble cast is very multi-faceted and each contains unique skills/personalities that we witness as the team works towards recovering all the hidden crystals. All the dialogue has a great flow and reminds me of Rush lyrics! The plot, while semi-familiar, sets itself apart with great twists throughout that most came extremely unexpectedly. Many times I found myself empathizing with each of these characters. I enjoyed every bit of this book and can confidently say that I'm anxiously awaiting for the next book in this series. My only big complaint is how relatively short this book is. At only 250ish pages, this story wrapped up way faster than I wanted it to. With this said, I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a well-oiled piece of fantasy fiction. This book is a true fantasy hidden-gem (pun intended!) and a great read for fantasy fans!

Where does The Boy and the Dolphin rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
"The Boy and The Dolphin", by Dick Schmidt, is a heart-warming and charming story that involves wonderfully relatable characters. Seemingly similar to other stories involving a boy and a dolphin such as Flipper, "The Boy and The Dolphin" strays away from this misconception and involves interesting themes like friendship, conservation, and becoming an adult. This story is able to easily convey such honesty and heart in how they slowly unravel complex aspects to the main characters as the story plays out. The author uses this appealing aspect to help bolster how much you truly care about all the characters and the events that happen to them personally and to their families. Never once as I listen to the audiobook did this story disappoint, instead it left me wanting to dig deeper into who these characters are and how much they would change as we span the length of this book.
Additionally, this book provides an excellent look at early 50's Caribbean life which also helped differentiate this story from many others similar to this that have come before it. By the very end, I got to experience entire family relationships established through circumstances that always felt authentic and made Toby's relationship with Phinney relatable even thought I had neither lived in the Caribbean nor been alive during the 1950's. Simply put, "The Boy and The Dolphin" was a wonderful read that I would highly recommend for both young and adult readers alike!
