The Rider Justin is sent to the small town of Neft, so he can spy on the nearby Lumanen Convent where the Daughters of the Pale Mother reside. He quickly learns that Coralinda Gisseltess, the leader of the Daughters, is indeed persecuting mystics and the people who shelter them. Even more quickly, he falls in love with Ellynor, one of the convent novices. But the courtship is perilous in the extreme.

Great book with meh narration.

I loved this book, almost as much as the first two. However, the narration left something to be desired. I adored the first two books, and I understand the reason for the switch to a male narrator for this one, but I would rather have listened to Justin's POV narrated by Jennifer Van Dyck. Barrett's female voices were just terrible, and there were changes in the characters' accents from the first two books. I did get used to Donnal sounding Irish, but when Cammon's accent started fluctuating, I got annoyed and took advantage of my WhisperSync instead. If I hadn't already bought Reader and Raelynx on audio (prior to listening to this one), I probably wouldn't have.

"It is the heart of this place, and it is dying," says the Beast. And it is true; the center of the Beast's palace, the glittering glasshouse that brings Beauty both comfort and delight in her strange new environment, is filled with leafless brown rosebushes. But deep within this enchanted world, new life, at once subtle and strong, is about to awaken. Twenty years ago Robin McKinley enthralled listeners with the power of Beauty. Now this extraordinarily gifted novelist retells the story of Beauty and the Beast again - but in a totally new way, with fresh perspective, ingenuity, and mature insight.

Long and Luxurious
Revisado: 07-24-13
Would you listen to Rose Daughter again? Why?
I'm honestly not sure. I've read the print book several times and loved it, and the narration of this audiobook was excellent. However, it became obvious about halfway through that I've been skimming the longest sections of narration to get back to what's happening in the story. McKinley is the queen of long and luxurious description, but I found it dragged occasionally while listening. I still love it, but I might stick to the text version from now on.
What did you like best about this story?
The world of this story is so rich that you can't help but feel transported there.
What does Bianca Amato bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Amato did an excellent job bringing out some of the subtler inflections of character voice. I could feel the emotion, and a time or two it brought tears to my eyes (and I'm not usually a crier).
