About this listen
Sylvalla escapes Avondale castle and the life of a princess, in search of the adventure she’s always wanted.
Once found, adventure bites back.
Fortunately, she's not alone. Unfortunately, her new-found companions are less than heroic. Jonathan would rather make money than learn wizardry. Dirk would rather live a long and happy life than confront danger. And at 150, old Capro would rather stop gallivanting to instead harangue unsuspecting wizardry students about his glory days over a nice cup of tea.
Quest has everything - heroes, monsters, chases, escapes, and a complete lack of true love.
A celebration of adventure fantasy, Quest is a quirky and original fantasy from award-winning and USA Today best-selling author, A.J. Ponder, on behalf of Wizardly historian, F Fraderghast. Become a student of magic today, and discover the true fighter, warrior, and most un-princess-like Princess Sylvalla, as she battles for her place as a hero.

Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But for Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems. The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, leading him to the gates of the nation's royal academy - a whole world of secrets in itself. But this is only the beginning of his discoveries.

Then there's a bard without a song in her heart but with a very adorable and fuzzy tail, an assassin who fears not the night but is terrified of chickens, and a mighty fighter more frightened of her sword than of her chain-mail bikini. This journey will lead to sinister umlauts, a trash-talking goat, and the Dread Necromancer Steve....

Magic, adventure, mystery, and romance combine in this epic debut in which a young princess must reclaim her dead mother’s throne, learn to be a ruler - and defeat the Red Queen, a powerful and malevolent sorceress determined to destroy her. On her 19th birthday, Princess Kelsea Raleigh Glynn, raised in exile, sets out on a perilous journey back to the castle of her birth to ascend her rightful throne. Plain and serious, a girl who loves books and learning, Kelsea bears little resemblance to her mother, the vain and frivolous Queen Elyssa.

Great book.... BUT
- By Dirtyjudo on 04-29-17
By: Alexey Pehov
There are asides frequently with commentaries by the author, or the ostensible author, brief bios of a good many characters with witticisms reflecting their more unique character traits. And for kids OR Adults who don't swoon over swooning characters - there is little to NO romance in the entire series. There's adventure, revenge, conniving villains, preposterous requirments of prophecy & a lesson to watch what you wish for, or you might just have to fulfill your own wish to the very last letter.
Sylvalla, Dirk, Capro, and a host of others were a pleasure to voice. If you enjoy fantasy with a health dose of wit, you owe it to yourself to check out this series.
Happy Listening!
