Fun Children's Fantasy Book
デルトラ・クエスト is a translation of the original English series, following young リーフ as he sets out to save the kingdom of Deltora from the Shadow King by finding seven magical gemstones scattered throughout the land. It's a fun, fast-paced book with a dark atmosphere, fun monsters, and a main cast that are exciting to adventure along with.
I picked up this book in order to work on my listening skills; the Japanese is standard, and audiobook-wise likely the most difficulty will come from the echo-y sound effects applied to some character voices. The narrators, male and female, were generally clear, and I appreciated the ambient sound effects used throughout. The book itself has full furigana, and despite being a fantasy novel doesn't have too many fantasy-specific terms, making it a good first choice for those looking to step into the fantasy genre.
