Opal

Narrator Will Patton guides listeners through this novella, which is part of Steifvater's popular Raven Cycle series. The story takes place in a dreamworld and is inhabited by dream creatures who have been brought to life by Ronan's power of dream projection. Patton's whispering narration is perfect fit for a world that is shrouded in sleep and secrets. Opal, a dream creation with the mind of a little girl, eavesdrops on Ronan and his partner, Adam, constantly. Patton, keeping his voice low and his cadence slow, makes listeners feel like they are in the room, hiding around the corner or in a closet. Even if listeners are unfamiliar with the series, this audiobook is a delightfully creepy listen. A.R.F. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
