About this listen
In a future where the human race has split into three species, the mentally evolved Illuminatos have conquered the other two in a brutal Evolutionary War. Now, the seven most powerful Illuminatos, the Council, control the Earth, ruling over the other two human species through violent oppression.
As one of the defeated physically evolved Corporis, Samara lost everything: her family, her freedom, and her will to fight. But when her master, Lord Wyatt Faraday, commands her to find the mysterious leader of the Resistance, Tristan, everything she thought she knew is challenged.
Tristan is an Illuminatos who has turned his back on his own kind to follow his principles. An idealist hoping to restore peace and equality for all species, he cannot escape his past, and it may force him to make a terrible choice.
Their meeting will change the world, but will it be for the better?

But in befriending Sara, Elzbieta makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism.

This award-winning series from LJ Evans should come with a warning label: Do not listen unless you are prepared to invest your heart and soul. It's about finding yourself and your path on this wild ride called life while overcoming loss, heartbreaks, and illness. It's about family and hope and love. Each book can be listened to as a stand-alone novel but comes with spoilers for the first book in the series.

Loved this audiobook
This was a great book. It did take me a couple of chapters to truly get into it but when I did I could not stop listening! There were so many twists and turns. Loved the world the author built and all of characters. The audiobook narrator Laura Horowitz did an amazing job, really made the book come to life!

Fantastic experience!
I follow Laura Horowitz and was able to receive a free code through a TikTok give away. A review was not required but would be appreciated, regardless of what it said.
So with that out of the way, I am so glad that Ms. Horowitz provided me with a copy! This had everything I could have wanted in a Sci-Fi story! Exciting twists on evolution and what it means to be human, great world building, nuanced characters, action, and, of course, romance.
While the beginning was definitely something to get through due to the world building (it took me a few rewinds to imagine the world correctly) once the book lays out the foundation, it does a good job of not treating the reader as if they need their hand held to navigate the world while still giving subtle reminders to the difference from our own.
The narration performance is fantastic. Laura Horowitz added depth to the characters with her interpretations of their tone, inflection, and volume. With her performance it was easy to imagine their faces filled with joy or grief, sorrow or regrets, and everything in between. Only thing that threw me of is when they would mention that one of the main characters looked more like a older teenager / young adult as opposed to her actual age (what I assume to be late 20s to early 30s) I could not picture someone that young to the voice. But that is a small detail.
Highly recommend this book and I look forward to more works by Casie Aufenthie!

Fun Sci-fi Romance
I’m picky about sci-fi, but this world with its interesting structure and fun abilities drew me in. The author’s creativity shines especially in the use of superhuman abilities and how they affect the plot, taking it to places I did not expect but loved.
There were times where a specific character treated people around him in ways that didn’t sit right with me, but I did appreciate the apology he gave for the worst of it.
This story got me a lot more emotional than I was expecting. I enjoyed seeing Tristan and Samara’s journey, and look forward to finding out what happens in the next book.
P. S. It makes sense why Kip is a fan favorite.

Beyond Word and Worlds
The narrator has brought an even deeper character development to the authors already detailed characters that has one physically, mentally, and emotionally addicted not only to this single story but to the next books. The beyond word and worlds new take on an old love story of desire and heart shattering loss is vividly brought to life with Laura’s vocals. She is able to clearly and distinctively differentiate between the many characters and their varying emotions to the point that the listener doesn’t need to be told who has spoken what phrase and statement.
This reminds me of a perfect Sci-Fi Romance mix surrounding a character romance connecting an Assassin and a Psychokinetic with a tiny bit of spice and an evolutionary post war world with hints of alternative dimensions.
If you love Sci-Fi or Romance you’ll love this with an easy bridge to connect these two genres.
