Configured

The Configured Trilogy, Book 1

De: Jenetta Penner

Narrado por: Lillie Ricciardi

There will come a day when love will mark you as a traitor. In a society where emotions are nothing and function is everything, Avlyn Lark is just trying to blend in. She's lucky to be alive, unlike her twin brother Ben who died when they were four. And she's lucky to have been taken from her biological parents and assigned to a Level Two family. But mastering her emotions? That's a problem, especially when a rebel bomb blows up a building right in front of her. Then on Configuration Day, Avlyn's official transition to adulthood, she starts seeing strange visions. And instead of being placed with a low-level tech company where she could hide away, she's hired by Genesis Technologies, the government firm that monitors every citizen. Now, instead of blending in, Avlyn fears she'll be exposed for what she really is. If Gen Tech finds out how deeply she feels, it will ruin her life. And if they find out about her secret meetings with a mysterious but handsome member of the rebel forces, her life will be more than ruined. It will be over.

Great Book

I loved this story. Narrator was good. Narration added to my enjoyment of the book.

Starts out "clinical", but expands beautifully

Configured starts out "clinical" sounding, both in the text and audiobook, but as we watch Avlyn grow & expand her mind it becomes a story that will suck you in and leave you wanting more! I really liked how the narrator brought this personal growth to life by expanding the emotion in her voice as the book went along.

YA Dystopian

I enjoyed this book immensely.The main character is a brave and strong young woman. Her families past choices force her to fight for her future.The story has a nice flow and the author did an excellent job of world building.The narrator has a pleasant voice and did a good job portraying the story.I received an audiobook from the author for review.

Fast Paced - Where is book 2!!!!!????

Quick and easy listen that keeps enough action that you never get bored. There is definitely a 'set up' of story lines but it works well. Looking forward to book 2...and 3!

Different approach to post apocalyptic world

Was a new refreshing take on the dystopian post apocalyptic world. The story and characters seemed real and not forced . The storyline progresses in a reasonable manor and only a few minor bumps of slowness or extra fluff not related to the story. Avlyn journey seems reasonable and her actions and reactions also seem realistic. The ending of the book wasn't your normal cliffhanger which is somewhat refreshing and different. More of a chapter ending than a book ending. But I think I like it for this book. Overall was a good book.
