Real world part great, Fairy tale part, average.

Narration was good and really liked the first section, classic King character building. But the fantasy parts were kind of boring.

SK at his best

It’s been a while since I have truly felt his magic. It’s here, loads of it.

A Masterclass in Preamble

People who want to cut to the chase and are purveyors of fine instant gratification won't like this book.

What King does so extraordinarily is to build two worlds and to make you feel like you are right there. Plus you will fall in love with a dog- and if you have a dog of your own you will find yourself hugging it and loving it while you listen. You will also give it extra treats.

The narration was some of the best I've experienced... all I can say is it's totally rad.

Finishing this book hasn't sunk in yet and I'm still at a loss for words and reassimilating into normal life. I'm buying a copy to read myself so I can experience it in another way. I feel sad and lost like the well has closed forever.

Second half hard to follow

I love King in general, with Eyes of the Dragon being one of my all time favourite books. The story build beautifully, peppered with true King suspense. Unfortunately I found the fairytale portion of the book less engaging and difficult to follow. Would love to see more fantasy novels from King in the future.

Classic Stephen King

I thoroughly enjoyed this listen! it felt a lot like The Dark Tower, which is an all-time favourite and was written in such a way that I am sure that 90% of readers visualised the characters and their and their backdrop in much the same way. it was my first time listening to Seth and the attention to detail did its part in bringing the characters to life.

Long days and pleasant nights.

A real fairy tale

Absolutely loved Fairy Tale! As a lover of Stephen King and a long time fan this was a little different to the stories I’ve come to love but it was amazing! Again I was transported into a world I had yet to discover and I was transfixed from the very beginning. Thank you!

Brilliant book!

I loved how the story evolved. In true Stephen King spirit, he didn’t fail to capture my imagination! For true Stephen King fans! Highly recommended!

Phenomenal!

A fantastical adventure narrated with perfection. King’s Fairy Tale completely swept me away, and I can’t wait to listen to it again. An absolute masterpiece.

Not great, not bad

The story took a very long time to get into the fantasy part, and when it did I felt very underwhelmed. The book was fine but pretty average overall.

HUGE SK fan - feel cheated - what happened?

I am a huge SK fan - even the books/genres that did not appeal to me - where still incredibly considered and developed.
What happened to this ? 24 hours (and yes I listened to it all) hanging in there because "any minute now the actual story is going to come " ..... hoping for the King magic - but alas it was only MEH.....
I could hear/see at least 5 other of Mr Kings books making a showing in this everlasting book in some form or other (so no new and original idea's) and even identified JK Rowlings "dementors" from Harry Potter when the guards of the palace are featured.
One cannot fault as always the beautiful words and wit and the narrative choice which was top notch.
This is literally the first time I have EVER felt so strongly disappointed that I have actually made the effort to write a review. After all the you cant always get it right - But man ... Mr. King is a sure thing - you never walk away disappointed ....
My monthly audible credit is a massive luxury - one I DEEPLY regret using for this book
