About this listen
All Airel ever wanted was to be normal, to disappear into the crowd. But bloodlines can produce surprises, like an incredible ability to heal. Then there's Michael Alexander, the new guy in school, who is impossibly gorgeous... and captivated by her. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she can hear the sound of pages turning, and another, older story being written. It is the story of an ancient family, of great warriors, of the Sword of Light, and the struggle against an evil so terrible, so far-reaching, that it threatens everything. Airel knew change would be an inevitable part of life. But can she hold on when murder and darkness begin to close in and take away everything she loves? Will she have what it takes when the truth is finally revealed?

Story
A young, naïve but ultimately courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall towers above his rivals—in stature if not experience. Tagging along is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg—whose true name is hidden from all he and Dunk encounter. Though more improbable heroes may not be found in all of Westeros, great destinies lay ahead for these two . . . as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits. Featuring more than 160 all-new illustrations by Gary Gianni, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a must-have collection that proves chivalry isn’t dead—yet.

Story
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

Story
I wondered what my life would have been like if we had never moved to the ho-dunk town of Spring Valley, Illinois. Sure the internet service was splotchy, there was nothing but miles of wheat fields, and I probably wouldn't be faced with death at every corner. My only neighbor in this god-forsaken town was...well there really was only one to describe him, hot as hell. With his sinful dark looks, unusually silver eyes, and kissable lips, there was something about him that was more than meets the eye.

Better than expected
Would you listen to Airel again? Why?
Probably not, but I have so many books I haven't listened to yet it's vary unlikely I'd listen to vary many of my books more than once.
What other book might you compare Airel to and why?
Twilight
Which scene was your favorite?
Sorry no spoilers here
Any additional comments?
At first the book comes across as another teen girl angst book. I.E. Twilight. But it gets away from that to some degree and has some unique scenes. I was surprised that even though the book inched an excerpt from the next book it is the only one of the series on audible. Seeing as the book was released in 2012 I find it surprising the second book didn't get written or released if it was.

You have to get past the goofy beginning....
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I suppose. The story drew me in (after I got past the extreme eye-rolling during the first part of the book). The main character is so... pre-teen? in her behavior that I just couldn't relate at all. I don't remember ever behaving in such an immature matter toward boys. It's just not very believeable. But I suppose the author was attempting to point out (very quickly, I might add... another point to struggle with) that Airel had some growing up to do and she had to grow up quickly. If that wasn't the authors point, then I suppose he may not know much about young women (a very plausible possibility). Still, once I got past that part of the book, the overall story was good.
If you’ve listened to books by Aaron Patterson before, how does this one compare?
never have in the past
What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?
LOVE Phil Gigante... who has a wonderfully melodic voice. In fact, I found this book mainly because I was looking for books narrated by Phil Gigante :)
Could you see Airel being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Perhaps a Lifetime or Hallmark mini-series. I could see a young Shiri Appleby (Roswell) playing the part of Airel.
Any additional comments?
It's worth listening to... just get past the first half. I imagine Airel is more mature in latter books in the series (I hope). BTW... where are the other books in the series? They are available as Kindle ebooks, but not on audible? The narrators are wonderful.

GREAT!!!! BOOK !!! Cmon with book two big dog.
What did you love best about Airel?
Her innocence and her ability to Learn and love with everything going on.
What other book might you compare Airel to and why?
It reminds me of Twilight without the obvious things to come in other books. I have to keep listening to the first book so I don't forget the twists and turns. . .
Which character – as performed by Phil Gigante – was your favorite?
the shadow Angel. He keeps it funny through the worst possible Times.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
A mix of humanity and Angel blood makes the best weapon against Evil.
Any additional comments?
Your killing me with waiting on book two guys.

Good concept, boring in reality
Would you try another book from Aaron Patterson and/or Phil Gigante?
Yes, I thought they both were great narrators!
Has Airel turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, but I didn't like how the main character in this book acted all gushy just after meeting a guy and thinking about him non-stop. The middle of this book was really slow for me, I just wanted to get to the end. And the end was very anti-climatic I felt. I wouldn't recommend this book.
Which scene was your favorite?
I liked some of the battle scenes from Kreos' (not sure how to spell that because its an audiobook..) point of view.
Do you think Airel needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I wouldn't be interesting in reading it.

Enjoyable read
Would you consider the audio edition of Airel to be better than the print version?
I think everything is better in audio
What did you like best about this story?
I thought it was different from all the other YA novels out there.
What about Phil Gigante’s performance did you like?
Phil Gigante and Natalie Ross could read the phone book and I would listen to it.

Not in my "best" category but it def was an enjoyable read.

MICHEAL AUDIOBOOK NOW. great story. well written
Where does Airel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
as far as the production of the audiobook, and the actors, its #1... as the story and book, and characters, its pretty high but not #1.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Airel?
When she was stabbed and thought she would be decapitated and said "i wonder how long it takes for your mind to realize that your heads been cut off" or something along those lines, was epic, and at the most amazing time for her personality to shine through.
Which scene was your favorite?
The one I just described, or when Krios in the past faught the seer with his friends, and small army of the heavenly host.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did... so yes, but im VERY VERY MAD, finished this book, and Micheal, book 2 (or 3... i don't even know at this point) IS NOT ON AUDIOBOOK....
Any additional comments?
audible, I have bought like 100-300$ in books through you guys, yet somehow over 3 years have passed since Airel was released and you have not produced Micheal or just aren't selling it anymore? please FIX THIS NOW. I could make a passable audiobook for under 1000$ in a week easily. So audible please dont let down a loyal customer and fan.

Waste of a Credit
This was a disappointment. The plot was a good idea. However, the writing was juvenile, and the dialogue was just as childish. It makes me wonder how old the author is. It reminds me of a book I wrote when I was 12. Additionally, while Phil Gigante was great, Natalie Ross was pretty terrible. She made a teenage girl from Idaho sound like a whiny 30-year-old from Texas. I listened to the whole thing hoping that it would get better, and because I paid for it, but it never improved. I wouldn't recommend this and will not be continuing with the saga.
