### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Terrible Narrator!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023*

I looked so forward to this audiobook but the female narrator was awful. At times she talked so low I couldn't make out what she was saying. I was very disappointed.

    Meh. Not nearly as good as "Light Princess"
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2011*

I'm new to George Macdonald. I became aware of him from having read C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce." Lewis made him a character in his story so I googled him and learned that Lewis so revered him he called him his "master." So I read a children's story of his, "The Light Princess," and absolutely LOVED it.But Phantastes was the first Macdonald book Lewis had ever read and it made a huge impression on him, so I determined it was my next Macdonald book. I guess I had high expectations. They weren't met. Not even close. You're just kind of meandering thru this fairyland story with no real sense of a major dramatic question. Our protagonist observes some kinda strange creatures and gets in some odd fantasy scrapes but there's no consistent force of antagonism. In one chapter it's a shadow, in another it's some goblins, then another there's some giants, etc. All the time I'm going - is this worth finishing? Meh, I have 30 pages left so I guess I'll stick it out.The best part in the whole book is a story that the protagonist reads in a book while he's in fairyland. Seriously, a whole chapter in Phantastes is our hero reading a story in a book that is FAR MORE INTERESTING than the one we're reading. This chapter is riveting but it's only one chapter and then we're back in our hero's wandering shoes wondering why we're here and when can we leave? As I mentioned earlier, I got 30 pages and then I'm outta here.But I'm really excited to get onto another Macdonald book. I LOVED the Light Princess. I'm excited for Lilith and the Golden Key. I think they'll be a little more structured and their conflict will be more clear. Phantastes has occasionally interesting insight, but not enough for me to recommend a read. Go for one of the other ones unless you're an avid fan and must read all his works. But this would be more down the list after you've tasted of the better ones. I'd compare this to deleted scenes on a favorite DVD or something. Kinda interesting but not compelling.

    Where it ALL Started....
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2019*

I'm a complete bookworm, I love the written word and any and all chances I have, I always take it.  One of my absolute favorite Authors is C.S. Lewis, I can't even begin to tell you how may times I have read all of the books in The Chronicles of Narnia.  I also love reading J. R. R. Tolkien and he and C.S. Lewis were great friends.  What I found out, quite accidentally, is that George MacDonald inspired both and I can 100% understand why.  As a matter of fact, C.S. Lewis quite often quotes MacDonald and I hadn't realized just how much until I re-read his works.  I guess you can say, if it weren't for George MacDonald, who knows if we'd have the literary works we have to treasure.  George MacDonald wrote a beloved story with this and when I read it and re-read it, I understand and appreciate what I'm reading all the more, not only for it's contained beauty, but for having a very real respect and admiration of just how much influence he still has!
