First impression: A strange book. I liked the story of Carley's change and growth, but the sudden switch to David making circus rides for his children was abrupt. And then it ended suddenly, as though the author got tired of the story and wanted to just call it done. You never found out what happened to Carley or the rest of the family, or how the smithy burned down. I will keep the book, because I liked Carley's growth. ( )

I try choosing short Audio Books usually 6 CD's at the most this one was 3. This book was good because of the narrator's Norwegian Accent. The story was cool too, but my favorite was how the author vividly described everything I could actually imagine working as a blacksmith, making horseshoes and fixing tools. ( )
