Great new series

I was a fan of the Lorien Legacy series. This first novel is a great start to a new series by Pittacus Lore.

It was just OKAY

I loved the performers sarcastic tone through the book. Story itself was alright. Let's just say it wasn't a book I just had to finish. I read several others and just kept coming back to this to basically finish it. If that tells you anything.

A Political Propaganda Story

It's basically a story about Green Party and Collectivism being the one and only way to live. I expected more from the guy responsible for the I Am Number Four series. It was entertaining though and I'll probably read the rest when released. If you liked Ready Player Two then you'll enjoy this.

Super New story from Pittacus Lore

I couldn´t stop listening. It is an amazing new story. I hope there will come a sequal soon!!!

where's the rest

it took a while for the story to get going and when it finally did the book ended😐

Awesome Story!

Was so glad to see the creative thinking of this story plot was on par with their very first book!

So much better than the Lorien series

I was a bit skeptical about this series after the Lorien legacy series. But if you thought that series was a bit forced you will be pleasantly surprised by this one.

To be clear this series takes place with completely different rules than the other books. They are completely unrelated stories. This story has completely different races and completely different technology. Yes they actually use technology instead of magic. It is a great coming of age sci-fi adventure.

Good listen

I’m really like the I Am Number Four books. So when I was given this recommendation and thought why not, and it hooked me! I’m excited to see where this series goes.

Enjoyed the book but not sure about the end

While I like the twist I don’t feel like people would just acting different when finding out the truth.

Overall I enjoyed the book.

Great new series!

I have read/listened to all of the Lorien Legacy books and tried this new book because it's from the same author. While it is not related at all to the Lorien universe, it still has the same great action sequences, characters you can relate to and root for, and huge stakes in the plot. The descriptions of all of the alien races and the rules of the new world were all very imaginative. I've seen some people argue that the plot is "eco-propaganda" and pushing some climate change agenda and I don't agree at all with these sentiments. What plays out is completely believable. I know this is considered a YA book but I am an adult and (just like the Lorien books) found the plot relatable and engaging. I hope there are many more to this series.

On Goodreads many poor reviews of this book mention a robot-sounding narrator. This must have been just for advance copies of the audiobook. The narrator in this Audible version is fantastic!
