Wings audiobook – Wings, Book 1

Nestled on my balcony one chilly morning, wrapped in my favorite shawl, I pressed play on the Wings Audiobook. There’s something about Teen & Young Adult novels that transports me back to simpler times, and Aprilynne Pike’s tale seemed to offer just that. The transformation of a human girl into a fairy was a concept I hadn’t come across often, and it piqued my interest.

Mandy Siegfried’s narration was like a warm hug. Her voice, melodic and calming, perfectly captured Laurel’s emotional roller coaster. I could feel the sheer disbelief of watching wings sprout on her back, the euphoria of discovering her true identity, and the torn emotions of wanting to belong in both the human and fairy realms.

Pike’s narrative spoke to that universal longing to belong, something I often reminisce about from my teenage years. Even as an adult, the essence of self-discovery, identity, and the dilemmas of the heart versus mind are still relatable. Laurel’s inner turmoil was portrayed so vividly that I found myself introspecting about my own past decisions.

Finishing Wings Audiobook left me with a bittersweet feeling. The journey had been enchanting, filled with whimsical moments of magic and hard truths of reality. It’s a gentle reminder that while we all may not sprout wings, each of us undergoes our own metamorphosis, finding our true selves along the way.
