The Queen of Attolia Free Audiobook Download by Megan Whalen Turner

"The Queen of Attolia" by Megan Whalen Turner is the only novel to make it onto Oprah's list of her favorite books. I have not read "The Queen of Attolia," but I did listen to the audiobook narrated by Steve West. The audiobook was compelling and well paced, making it easy to follow along.

After fifty years of rule, Queen Tamar has lost her sight and all her other faculties. She spends her days lying in bed and thinking about the kingdom she had built up from nothing. There is unrest as the oared ships that brought new settlers to Attolia burn at the docks, but because Queen Tamar cannot remember who to trust, no one is punished. It becomes obvious that something sinister is happening in her kingdom, and it will take a bewitching wizardess to save the day.
