Dather is an island that was once known as Ohau. A nation that rose from the ashes after an asteroid shower had divided itself when people began to discover their unique powers. At 16, Adaline sits in prison with her mother and younger brother, and today is Parting Day, where more prisoners will be executed. After seven years of being spared, Adaline’s luck has run out. But she won’t go quietly or easily.

A Brilliant Debut!
Revisado: 04-28-21
When I received this audiobook during a promotion by the author, I was not sure what to expect. It is a debut novel and the beginning of a trilogy. So, I approached it with caution, keeping my hopes in check. But, I’m pleased to say that I was not disappointed in any way! The plot, characters, and delivery of this story was brilliantly done by the author, Catherine Downen, and well narrated by Katrianna Paige.
The Markings is a Dystopian YA Fantasy book with a Red Queen meets Shatter Me storyline. I was instantly drawn to Adaline’s story and couldn’t wait to find out more about Dather. The worldbuilding is spectacular and I absolutely enjoyed the “force lifter” power Adaline possessed.
The first few chapters felt a little rushed but the plot tightened soon enough and relevant information was provided without making it look like an info dump.
The author, Catherine Downen, has done a wonderful job of keeping the readers engaged with the characters and the story via various trials and challenges our protagonist has to go through.
Overall, this was an interesting and enjoyable read. If you are into YA Fantasy and Dystopian books, definitely give this one a try. Suitable for ages 10 and above.
4.5/5 stars (rated up)
