Publisher's summary

Even when you’re pretending to be someone else, you can’t escape who you are.

When the world sees Frey, they think they see her twin sister, Rafi. Frey was raised to be Rafi’s double, and now she’s taken on the role...without anyone else knowing.

Her goal? To destroy the forces that created her.

But with the world watching and a rebellion rising, Frey is forced into a detour. Suddenly, she is stranded on her own in Paz, a city where many of the citizens attempt to regulate their emotions through an interface on their arms. Paz is an easy place to get lost...and also an easy place to lose yourself.

As the city comes under a catastrophic attack, Frey must leave the shadows and enter the chaos of warfare - because there is no other way for her to find her missing sister...and have her revenge against her murderous father.

Shatter City Shook Me

Still love the world-building! Plot felt a little brain-missing on its journey though. Shatter City left me reeling, but less so than it left Frey fizzling out of control. She really spiraled and I'm still not sure quite where she's at or who she is in the aftermath. Overall, this sequel felt like loose ends trying to be put away too neatly and too fast, allowing for huge reveals to happen in too short of a time. I feel like I know the characters even less than I did before.

Another fantastic read

Honestly, I like this one and Mirror's Edge better than the first Imposters book. Whichever review said there wasn't enough "world building" clearly read a different book, because, as usual, Scott has enthralled me with his creativity as far as the ideas he has for the technology and culture for each individual city in his world. Paz is such a fun concept, and I found myself wishing I could have feels installed for myself. Anyone who's lived through an earthquake understands the PTSD that can follow, and I feel like he really captured the helplessness of it all.

Absolutely amazing read!

I would honestly recommend this book to every person I meet. Great read! I’ve been following the series for a long time and didn’t think it would live up to it. Beat my expectations thank so much!

suggestion for audiable team

I loved the reader Thérèse Plummer so well that I tried to look up other books she read as well. unfortunately, their is not a section I can go to for this information. please add a feature to rate the reader and find other books voiced by them!

of course this book was great as well but you all knew that already,

OK, But Distracting Narration

The story was decent, entertaining enough. The affected intensity of the narrator was cheesy and distracting, as if she was constantly trying to imbue her words with an artificial steadfastness. It wasn't *bad* narration, but it did present a challenge to the suspension of disbelief.
