Apex

De: Mercedes Lackey

Narrado por: Amy Landon

Being a member of the Elite Hunter Command imperils Joy in more ways than one. In their latest clash with Othersiders, the army of monsters nearly wiped them out. Apex City is safe for now. But within the city barriers, Joy must wage a different kind of war.

The corrupt and powerful PsiCorps is determined to usurp the Hunters as chief defenders of Apex City, and Joy is now squarely in their crosshairs. Unused to playing political games, she has very few people she can truly trust - not even Josh, her first friend in Apex City, who broke up with her when it became too dangerous for a Psimon to be dating a Hunter.

Then Josh comes to Joy for help. He fears that Abigail Drift, the head of PsiCorps, will soon use him in her twisted experiments designed to empower PsiCorps and render Hunters superfluous - a scheme that's already killed off dozens of Psimons. Joy manages to smuggle Josh to safety, but he cannot evade Drift forever.

As Joy faces ever more powerful Othersiders, she is helped by the most surprising ally imaginable - the same Folk Mage she once met in battle on the train to Apex City. But can Joy trust the most cunning and treacherous of all Othersiders?

In the thrilling finale to Mercedes Lackey's New York Times best-selling trilogy, Joy must risk everything to end a brutal war before she loses all she's ever loved.

Perfect End to the Trilogy

Apex had a very typical Mercedes Lackey ending. I will explain more later.

What I love about Mercedes Lackey is how the heroin discovers she has it in her all along to change the world. Joy without a doubt has changed the world around her.

I love how her and the lavender mage work together to bridge their worlds. The performance does a good job of differentiating voices just enough, and also conveying the emotion. You can here the panic and pain in Joy's voice when each new blow comes. This final chapter of the trilogy does a beautiful job of bring Joy into her full potential and becoming a leader in her own right.

By a very Mercedes Lackey ending, I mean that it is an ending that does not truly end the story. There is so much potential for Joy's future and Apex's future and she leaves that for you to imagine.

fun

I read all 3 books 1 right after the other and enjoyed the whole story

what's next?

I have enjoyed this series and hope a follow up isn't too far down the road

Awesome! Very engaging

I love all of Mercedes Lackey books. I find her stories suck you in to a world she has created, that I never want to leave.

Excellent story

Another hit series for Ms.Lackey! I usually don’t care for YA fiction, but stumbled on this and didn’t really have anything else in mind. I had read Ms. Lackeys first series a million years ago and figured at the least this would probably be a well crafted tale. Not excellent, but not horrible,this is a great “between epic tales..” type series.
