Suspend disbelief about the unlikely scenario, and just enjoy the ride. It was a fun, action-packed YA spy novel!

Very talented reader
Reviewed: 07-09-20
My review of the first book said the performer might be overdoing the characters. It just all seemed a little over dramatic. By book three, however, I was used to it AND realized how incredibly talented Imogen Church is with her nearly endless accents and characterizations.
I loved the story. The author or her characters are too free with the F-bomb for my preference, so I hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. The prevalence of the single curse word seemed unnecessary.
Again, the story was fantastic. I loved being able to listen to all four books immediately and would love for publishers to do that more often, when possible.

Four books. Four months. Nine Realms. Exiled and hunted, Cerulia, Princess of Weirandale, knows she has one destiny. Her enemies failed to kill her, and no one harboring her is safe. Raised in obscurity, she has no resources, no army, nothing that can help her against her enemies. Except their gods.

Polarizing Narrator, Excellent Tale

Production overdone, pretty good story
Reviewed: 05-16-20
I like the story, but I think I would like it better without the narrator overdoing her part. She does have impressive voicing abilities, but so many of her characters sound whiny. Really, really whiny. Every once in awhile it’s appropriate for the situation, but there’s a lot of moments when the voice just doesn’t seem to match the moment. Hopefully she tones it down in the next books. I certainly couldn’t do half as well, so I shouldn’t complain.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 15,873
Zero is just one of 20,000 people aboard a spaceship bound for a new planet set to be colonized. The journey is over a century long but luckily, everyone is in stasis, so they’ll be safe and sound asleep during the trip. Everyone that is, except for Zero, whose pod has malfunctioned, waking him up a hundred years early. His initial excitement in roaming the ship alone quickly turns to a heart-stopping interstellar adventure when a family of space pirates show up, trying to hijack the ship and take the colonizers hostage.

Great family listen!
Reviewed: 05-14-20
My family listened to this and its sequel on several little road trips. My kids started asking to listen to it even when we were just heading to the store! My eight year old liked it the most, but my five year old got into it, too. Even my husband and I enjoyed it and were happy to listen.

Annoying sing-song Broadway-style reading
Reviewed: 03-07-20
I wish readers didn’t think they needed to speak like this...It’s an annoying sing-song Broadway-style reading. Just talk like a normal person! I played on 1.25 speed, which made it bearable.

War is coming. With the reappearance of the Tuatha De, the countryside is thrown into chaos. Entire villages have been obliterated. Magic users are suffering persecution along with the Faie, leaving droves of refuges to wait outside the gates of the great cities, hoping for the acceptance that will never come. After a brief reunion with her companions, Finn is stolen away during the night by an unseen foe. Lost and alone, she must put her trust in a stranger if she hopes to reach Migris alive. Yet, nothing is as it seems, and those she trusts most may be the ones to betray her.

Awful narrator.
Reviewed: 08-04-18
I will have to read the physical book, because for some reason the narrator is different than for the first book. I loved the first book’s narrator, especially for Finn, but this one is so different from the last one, it just doesn’t work for this story. It sounds like she has a southern drawl sometimes, and she talks so fast I checked to see if I had changed the speed on my app. Can’t listen anymore.
