Über diesen Titel
A bewitchingly cozy, fiendishly funny cautionary tale about the perils of gatecrashing fairytale kingdoms—particularly ones with drunken unicorns, bored dragons, and sorcerers in tight leather pants.
Sasha Pierce hasn’t had a single dream since she was a child...until she accepts a substitute teaching position in the charmingly witchy village of Old Middleton. Her first dream in twenty-five years ought to be enchanting, but her wonder quickly turns to shock when she realizes that it’s not a dream at all, but an entirely different sort of magic.
Catapulted through an ancient portal into the fairytale kingdom of Between, Sasha’s astonishment is swiftly upgraded to panic when she accidentally performs a supposedly impossible feat and is declared the True Queen of Between...and betrothed to its infuriatingly handsome sorcerer king.
Lorn, Shadow King of Between, is desperate to break free from Between’s clutches. Magically tethered to the ramshackle kingdom, he wages a daily battle to save his disreputable subjects from rampaging magical creatures, sinkholes, and catastrophes of the distressingly lethal variety. To avoid an early grave, he needs an escape plan, not a wife...until he learns that this magicless mortal holds the key to his freedom.
Unwilling to leave her world to accept the crown—or the husband—Sasha must race against the clock to disentangle herself from this fairytale. But her empty throne leaves a dangerous rift between their worlds. As dark forces descend upon Old Middleton, the two must make a choice: work together or unleash fairytale chaos upon their realms.
Between is the spellbinding first novel in The Chronicles of Between fantasy series. Filled with feisty, fairytale-savvy heroines, swoon-worthy sorcerers, slow burn romance, morose minotaurs, and bawdy witches, it’s a laugh-out-loud fairy tale romp.

Even though the audiobook is 30 hours long, it didn't feel like it at all. The Story is lighthearted, quirky and funny and the world (a cross over between our modern age and fantasy (fairytale?)) is captivating.
The narrators did an amazing job of bringing all the characters to life and I can't wait for the second book (fingers crossed for another audio book).
Lighthearted, cozy and amazing

The voice actors did an incredible job. The story is lighthearted and entertaining without being vapid. Just be warned, this does end on almost a cliffhanger (more like the story is only just beginning than a cliffhanger). I'm looking forward to the next book, but I do prefer when my series books are a little more self-contained than this one is.
There are fun sidekicks, heroines that are plucky and willing to stand up for themselves but not assassins, heros who are tortured but sweet, and a lot of ridiculous magical beings that get drunk perhaps more than you might expect. There is a mystery underlying the story, which I have thoughts about but definitely doesn't feel completely predictable yet.
Worth it!
Funny and fun
