This book has been edited from previous version. ***warning possible triggers My name is Blake. Most girls my age are worrying about prom, senior pictures, and colleges. I'm not. I worry about taking care of my sister, dodging my stepmother's reprehensible boyfriends, and earning enough money to keep the roof over our heads, clothes on our backs, and food in our bellies. Sometimes when I'm angry or afraid, strange things happen. Things I can't explain. Recent events have thrust me into a new world. With the help of my connections I learn about my gift. Unfortunately there are others that ...

The horrible narration
Revisado: 04-15-25
The narration was so awful it was distracting. There was no change in voices and half the words were spoken incorrectly. I kept having to go back and read listen to understand who was saying what. I really hope Audible is looking to do away with actual humans narrating because I will stop purchasing. I also hope they redo this series. It's a great series but the computer generated narration completely ruined it.

Eighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger - and more dangerous - than she had ever dreamed. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity...and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents' clans.

Love the sarcasm!

I really like this series. Kricket is pretty funny and her relationships with the other characters are great.
The writing style is descriptive enough that you can get a clear of everything but not so detailed that it puts you to sleep. Apparently, that's harder to pull off then one would think because I can only think of a handful of writers that can accomplish this. Most are only OK.
A huge pet peeve of mine is when the characters reactions to what is happening are not realistic. There have been a lot of books that I have not been able to finish because I just thought the reactions were so stupid. But all of the reactions are pretty spot on. Kricket is not a soldier so I don't expect her to act like one. And she doesn't. She cries and gets mad and even throws up once because she's so upset. That's realistic. That's good writing to me.
I don't hand out very many 5 stars but I think this series deserves it. I only wish I'd waited until all the books were out to start the series. I hate waiting.

What a letdown! (spoilers)
Revisado: 10-25-13
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If everyone didn't die at the end!
Would you ever listen to anything by Veronica Roth again?
The reviews would have to be REALLY, REALLY good.
Which character – as performed by Emma Galvin and Aaron Stanford – was your favorite?
The performance was fine. They did a good job with all of the characters.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Allegiant?
I change the whole ending if I could.
Any additional comments?
I was so excited about this book! The cliffhanger at the end of Insurgent made great possibilities for book 3. It's been a long time since a book left me so disappointed.

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

When Elizabeth Middleton leaves England to join her father at the edge of the New York wilderness, she does so with a strong will and an unwavering purpose: to teach school to children of all races - black, white, and Native American. It is December of 1792 when she arrives in a cold climate unlike any she has ever experienced. And she meets a man different from any she has ever encountered - a white man dressed like a native. His name is Nathaniel Bonner, also known to the Mohawk people as Between-Two-Lives. Elizabeth defies her father and shatters convention, but her ultimate destiny, here in the heart of the wilderness, lies in the odyssey to come: trials of faith and flesh, and passion born amid Nathaniel's own secrets and divided soul.

I read the whole book after listening to it and it's a really great read! The unabridged version cuts out WAAAY too much!
