Publisher's summary

I stood by and let it happen for too long, but I will not do it anymore. I will not be the person who watches others get hurt and does nothing to stop it. Not anymore.

Returning to Sovereign City after everything that was stolen from her is something Indra never thought she would do. Despite the scars she wears both inside and out, left there at the hands of the Sovereign and the Fortis, she is determined to save her people from oppression, even if it means putting her own safety at risk. But it isn’t long before she once again finds her world shattering around her. As the dust settles, Indra manages to find strength among the ruins, and she sets out on a quest to unite the four Outlier tribes, hoping to take their enemies down once and for all.

Great Fantasy Adventure!

Story has a very good flowing from scene to scene. Author has thought out progression of entire audiobook to smoothly require a sequel. Narration was flawless, and professional. The narrator’s voice was perfect for this type of story. It is not an “ooey-gooey girlie”book, but one that will draw listeners into the different characters experiences.
I recommend this audiobook for ages 17 and older due to some adult situations.
I was given this audiobook for free and I freely give my opinion and rating

A force to be reckoned with...

Uprising: A Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian Novel (The Outliers Saga, Book 2) by Kate L. Mary and narrated by Grace Sylvan is...WOW! What an exceptional follow up! For reals…if you enjoy books with darker themes, are empowering to women, strong female leads, or post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, you should be checking this series out asap.

What it’s about? After healing from her husbands death, Indra returns to her previous place of employment but something in her has changed. She is no longer the powerless woman she once was. Going back to work and encountering the Fortis and Sovereign sets off a flurry of emotions. No longer able to do nothing when her friend is being violated by Lysander, she takes action, resulting in changes for the Outlier tribes, Fortis, and Sovereign. Expect a lot of action and killing. We learn about the different Outlier tribes as Indra tries to unite them to rise up against the Fortis and Sovereign. Indra creates and becomes the leader of a new tribe of women. A romantic relationship develops. How to deal with the threats in the wastelands and from fellow tribal members? Who lives in the mirrors that make the energy for the Sovereign? How to handle the misogynistic tribe? What is it that’s stopping the tribes from entering Sovereign City? What happened to the missing tribal members? There should be no surprise that the book ends in a cliffhanger as there are three books in the series, but I feel I need to say this because there’s always someone who complains.

If you are looking for an empowering book, this is it. Make no mistake, it’s a book that deals with dark subjects. Kate’s writing makes you feel emotions and creates bad guys so bad that you can’t help but hate.

The narrator, Grace Sylvan, once again did a great job. As I said in the first book review, it is clear she is the perfect fit for this series. I would check out other books by her.

Overall I cannot recommend this series enough. I feel it’s Kate’s best work to date. I went straight from book one to book two despite other life obligations I should have been doing. If you enjoy books with darker themes, books that are empowering to women, or post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, this is the series for you. If you are new to Kate’s book, you best get on the Kate bandwagon quick!

Parental guidance/trigger warnings: revenge, remembering past sexual assaults and coming face to face with abuser, attempted rape, slaves, sex on wedding night and one other time (not in graphic detail), tattooing, killing of men via arrows, death from other weapons, one tribe is extremely sexist and believes women need men to survive (treats women like they are the bottom of the barrel- no eye contact/no talking or addressing women, comments about how they are inferior and things along those lines), hitting of a woman by a man, cruel treatment of the disabled by the Sovereign, getting rid of babies who are born with what some might consider a disability (death or sent to live elsewhere), and possibly similar scenarios that I’m forgetting. I do not recall any swearing. This is a book that contains dark/potentially triggering subjects.

If at first you don't succeed!...

Indra embarks on her new task after her revelation or awakening of who she is and what her purpose here on earth is. She has been on a one-woman quest to rid the world of the Fortis; one man at a time. She has been successful because she has not been seen, leaving the killings for the wild animals to mask her involvement. That luck is sure to run out and it will have dire consequences for the other Outliers. Realizing she can not accomplish her task on her own, Indra sets out to unite the four tribes of Outliers. If she succeeds she will have the numbers necessary to defeat the Fortis and then move on to the Sovereign. This is the story of Indra’s new mission; to unite the Outliers and bring an end to the Sovereign’s reign of oppression.

Enjoyable listen

I listened to the first book and was eager to find out what happened next. I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. It is interesting and a different way the world can exist after the end of the world as we know happens. I liked the characters and their stories. I will continue with the series.

Uprising

Excellent book! I loved it from beginning to end. Outliers do not mix with the Fortis except to be their slaves.When a Fortis is kind to one outlier it is a fluke but leads to an uprising. Grace Sylvan was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great Read

Uprising: A Post-Apocalyptic Dystopian Novel was another great read by Kate L. Mary. Indra returns to Sovereign City to save her people from oppression. Even though it may put her own safety at risk. She is on a quest to unite the four Outliers in order to take down their enemies. I enjoyed reading Indra's story and enjoyed Grace Sylvan's narration and can't wait to read more in this series.

Another good book

I am really enjoying this series. It has a mixture of action and romance, star crossed lovers and hopeless causes. Good stuff!

Great trilogy!

I stumbled on this trilogy and could not stop listening! Strong female lead and descriptive enough for me to envision the environment. Loved it!
