I can't stress how lucky it was for me to find this story. I would have never picked this out on my own; it was only because this audio-book was offered for free download that I even made time for it. 
 Wondrous Strange was my first audio-book and I probably would have liked it much better if I read it instead of hearing it. The first half of the book (and the narration) was a bore for me and I didn't really have high hopes for it. But the second half, omg, blew me away. The love story (one that I had initially thought was awful) became breathtakingly heart-wrenching and beautiful. The climax of the story was great. For my first foray into the world of faries, I must say I'm very pleased.
