A gripping YA book read by an amazing narrator
Revisado: 04-22-25
Predestined grabs the reader right from the beginning. Lina, an average student with a rebellious streak, receives an invitation to join an elite Academy, Haverford Pines, for a six week summer program. Not only is she skeptical but she is strongly resistant to attending. Once Lina’s parents drop her off at HP, there is no turning back. There are so many unexpected twists and turns that keep the reader engaged and guessing throughout the book.
I have listened to many audiobooks but this narrator is amazing. Unlike other narrators who use a relatively modulated tone throughout a book, Madeline Smith matches her voice to the scene by varying her speed and pitch. She literally brought the characters to life for me, particularly Lina, the protagonist.
I look forward to hearing other audible selections from Ms. Smith, who kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.
Kudos to both Ms. Byrne and Ms. Smith. I hope to read more of Lina’s and her HP friends’ adventures. Predestined has a predestined future as a series similar to The Hunger Games.
