Story
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the 10th annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games. The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able to out charm, outwit, and outmaneuver his fellow students to mentor the winning tribute. The odds are against him. He’s been given the humiliating assignment of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest of the low.

Story
Somewhere on the frontier between thought and reality exists the Discworld, a parallel time and place that might sound and smell very much like our own, but which looks completely different. Particularly as it’s carried though space on the back of a giant turtle (sex unknown). It plays by different rules. But then, some things are the same everywhere. The Disc’s very existence is about to be threatened by a strange new blight: the world’s first tourist, upon whose survival rests the peace and prosperity of the land.

Publisher's Summary
The classic recording of Northern Lights, read by Philip Pullman and a full cast of narrators.
'Without this child, we shall all die.'
Lyra Belacqua lives half-wild and carefree among the scholars of Jordan College, with her daemon, Pantalaimon, always by her side.
But the arrival of her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, draws her to the heart of a terrible struggle - a struggle born of stolen children, witch clans and armoured bears.
As she hurtles towards danger in the cold far North, Lyra never suspects the shocking truth: she alone is destined to win, or to lose, the biggest battle imaginable.
The full cast of narrators includes: Philip Pullman, Joanna Wyatt, Rupert Degas, Alison Dowling, Douglas Blackwell, Jill Shilling, Stephen Thorne, Sean Barrett, Garrick Hagon, John O'Connor and Susan Sheridan.

Enlightened ending
Good book but I warn people to avoid the interview at the end. I stopped about 15 minutes in after hearing some major spoilers for the following books.
This was a disappointing end to a good book.

love it.
I absolutely loved having a full cast. I was abit hesitant at first as a narrator can make or break an audio book but this was fantastic.
Now the story, I decided to give this a go as I was curious upon thinking of the movie what happened after. So like any curious person I took to the books, and well I kinda knew what to expect after the movie, I did watch it 10 years or so ago but the next 2 books, I had no idea about and absolutely LOVED IT. what an enchanting world. I definitely reccomend getting lost in these worlds.

Not the best narration
I did not like the narration. It was too ‘pantomime’ for my liking. Also, the story…. People have raved about this book. I’m honestly not sure why.

Narration
Sorry but the narration was awful I couldn't focus on the story, I couldn't stand anywhere past the first chapter. was really recommended this book, bit I wish I had listened to the sample before I spent money on it. Lesson learned 😔

Plot Spoiling Interview at end of FIRST book! Ruined it
Couldn’t have enjoyed these books more. The narration is wise and clearly as is often the case with one’s own words, told with the vigour and passion with which they were imagined.
Cannot fathom how Audible would be so stupid to place an interview with the author at the end of THE FIRST BOOK and for said author to reveal significant plot spoilers within the first 3 mins of the interview. Just move it to the last book and/or announce PLOT SPOILERS. Really disappointing.
