NICKLE BRICKLE’BEE: IN THE HALLS OF HARBORDEEN

by Sterling Nixon

Narrated by: Jason Finch

Production by: S & J Publishing

Demons, Dwarfs, Elves, and More!

This is part two of the Brickle’Bee series and it is well worth the wait! Jason Burntworth and Nickle Brickle’Bee are going to Harbordeen Academy. Not everyone is happy about this, but Nickley and Jason make the most of it. They must recover the artifact stolen by the Demon Queen who can heal herself immediately of all injuries and create more Demons. While searching for the Red Book, Jason decides to take on the Elf world in a friendly sports game and try to even out the playing field.

Sterling Nixon, the author, has created a world that is fascinating and enthralling! The themes running through this book are subtle but powerful. Touching on class, elitism, equity, and fairness blends in well with the storyline.  His character development is rich and solid; while each character grows throughout the series their personality is consistent. The dialog throughout the book is authentic and keeps the story moving forward. The ending is very surprising!

The narrator, Jason Finch gives an excellent performance! Although the excitement builds, Finch maintains a steady cadence. He carefully enunciates and immerses himself deep into the storyline. He projects the excitement, fear, anger, and more effortlessly. I thoroughly enjoy listening to Finch!

While I enjoyed the first book, this one has now become my favorite in the series. I loved the McDonald reference and when the elf throws down protocol and snarfs down the Quarter Pounder … well, it was PERFECT!
