Trigger warning

Revisado: 05-01-25

The performance was great but the story starts out slow. The main character was annoying and the story takes a left turn at the end. Considering the gravity of the event the author fictionalized in her story there should be mention of it in the description.

Scary because it could happen

Revisado: 03-15-23

This book gave me so much anxiety but I couldn’t stop listening. The narration was flawless. While listening I could imagine that an event like this actually happening. Similar less devastating events have happened. The character development throughout the story was relatable. You think you know who you may be in a disaster but everything can change when faced with the reality.

Good story, unbearable female narrative

Revisado: 12-16-22

Great story and I’d like to get the rest of the series but I could only tolerate the female narrative to book 2

Painfully boring narrator

Revisado: 07-29-21

I’ve listened to this series twice and on my second listen I remembered why I never finished the third book. The author introduces the book with an explanation why he changed the narrator for the third book. He states he felt his character was a different person after her experiences and more mature so he felt he needed someone with a more mature sound and style. What he got was terribly boring narration.

I have averaged 4-5 books a week for the past 5 years and I’ve heard all kinds of narrators. Some so good I’ll buy books just cause they are reading it. Some so awful I’ll return the book and never purchase another book they are reading for again. A good narrator can make even a poorly written book good. A poor narrator can make a really good book terrible. For this book I can’t decide if the narrative is just so terrible that it ruins the book or the book itself is terrible.

I don’t understand the reason for the change because only a year had passed in the story and all of a sudden her experiences have changed her so much she becomes monotone and boring? Also the book is categorized young adult so why the “mature” narrator? It’s really disappointing because I really enjoyed the story read by Emma Galvin and the final installment of this series fell so flat I just can’t bring myself to finish it.

Difficult to listen to

Revisado: 03-24-21

I really enjoyed this story but the narration made it difficult to finish. The narrator had a nice voice however all but the main character and the supporting female character were read in a voice that was pleasing. All the male voices and other female voices aside from the aforementioned she attempted were just painful to listen to. She frequently used a scratchy low voice which made all the characters seem either old or really sick so it made it difficult to envision a young man when the prince was speaking or even the male supporting character who was supposed to be close in age to the main character who is 17 years old. I kept feeling like the characters were elderly or on their deathbeds. The one character that was actually on his deathbed sounded younger and healthier then the rest. I would likely not be purchasing the next book in the series if it wasn’t a different narrator.

Couldn’t make it till the end

This story was just so all over the place I couldn’t follow it. I tried but it was just irritating so I returned it.

Too Extraordinary

Revisado: 09-10-16

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and, with no hesitation, purchased the 2nd as soon as it was available. The simplicity and intriguing story is what drew me in on the first book and I was dying to hear what hastened with the very likeable, and hateable, characters. The 2nd book is overwhelmingly convoluted with undefeatable super hero tech. The story unwittingly turned into a comic book and I quickly lost interest. I haven't quite finished yet however the unexpected turn irritated me to the point I felt compelled to stop reading and write this review. I am still giving the performance 5 stars and the story itself 3 stars because I am still drawn to the major characters in the story. I will continue to listen, likely skipping the tedious undefeatable super hero segments, cause I really must know what happens to my favorite characters however it is unlikely I will purchase the 3rd book in the series should there be one.
