Publisher's summary

When Whit and Wisty were imprisoned by the wicked forces of the totalitarian regime known as the New Order, they were barely able to escape with their lives. Now part of a hidden community of teens like themselves, Whit and Wisty have established themselves as leaders of the Resistance, willing to sacrifice anything to save kids kidnapped and brutally imprisoned by the New Order.

But the One has other plans in store for them: He needs Wisty, for she is "The One Who Has the Gift". While trying to figure out what that means, Whit and Wisty's suspenseful adventures through Overworld and Shadowland lead to a jaw-dropping climax and conclusion: The highly-anticipated fulfillment of the heart-pounding opening prologue of book one...The Execution of the Allgoods.

Patterson gave up.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If the characters were a bit brighter and deeper. Even for teenagers, they were just not smart or interesting. If there was something more creative about the story - it just seemed to be borrowed from every other fantasy story.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Patterson and Ned Rust again?

Maybe some of Patterson's older stuff. I don't know anything about Ned Rust so I don't know.

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

The narrators were fine, it was just the story that sucked.

Good childish style

A little cringy, but that aside a good listen.
Narration is amazing and greatly improves experience

Enjoyed but better for teens

I am 70 years old and enjoyed the series, They were entertaining and kept my interest but I feel this is much for suited for the teenage set. I have recommended the set of books to my granddaughters and I feel they will truly enjoy them.

No plot

I liked the first book in this series, it was kind of different. However, this one was very disappointing. It really didn't have much of a plot, and was boring and tedious. I didn't even finish listening to it, got through a little over half of it hoping a plot with some meat would develop and it never did and I lost patience and just stopped listening, which I rarely do with a book I actually spent money on.
