About this listen

In the tradition of the Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of Les Misérables tells the story of three teens from very different backgrounds who are thrown together amid the looming threat of revolution on the French planet-colony of Laterre.

A thief. An officer. A guardian.

Three strangers, one shared destiny....

When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope, a new life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But 500 years later, it’s now a place where an extravagant elite class reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.

Whispers of revolution have begun - a revolution that hinges on three unlikely heroes....

Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet.

Marcellus is an officer - and the son of a renowned traitor. In training to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the government he’s vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.

Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in 12 years...and plunge Laterre into chaos.

All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution - and together, they will shape the future of a planet.

Power, romance, and destiny collide in this sweeping reimagining of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables.

loved all but the ending

I was very excited to listen to this book, I thought it was very promising and I was loving it at first. I really like the Les Miserables vibe and that it was at space, but we really didn't see anything related to space except mentions of others planets, that was all. It was also very long, and in the end we didn't have a lot of plot going on, just running around. I struggle to finish to be honest and won't be listening the second one. In the end, I hated Aloutte or whatever her name was, she didn't know anything and I felt she was very cruel to her father when she learned the true. Not the great characters I was expecting.

Too long but not much character's development.

Great Book but they pronounce stupid like stupeeed, which is stupid. Very annoying.... Love the Author and the story.

It's not Stupeeeeeddd; it's STUPID.

Longer than I expected and I'm sure the next novel will be just as long. I enjoyed the female narrators however the Male narrator drove me crazy.

Long Read

I had a lot of fun listening to this book! First of all, the narrators were great and their slight French accents made it more realistic. The rotating POVs moved the story along nicely, as did the short chapters. I didn't feel like there were any dull moments and I was totally engrossed in the plot. I had no idea this was a retelling of Les Miserables, which I haven't read or seen, so I didn't get those references, but that's an interesting tidbit!
This did a good job of being sci-fi without going too far into the genre, so if you're unsure about that part, give it a try. The characters are complex and I loved piecing them together. The way they intertwined was cool and this unfolded so well. I'm excited for the next book!

So much fun!

If the narrator for the Lark was not so breathy and quiet, I might’ve gone on with the series

Pretty good

Absolutely loved this book! This is my second read through to get ready for the final book. The twist on the original is such a great inspired story.

A must read

I can’t wait for book 2 to continue the story. I didn’t like the voice of Chateen however. It grated on my nerves ( almost quit listening because of it ) but I got used to it.

Wonderful
