Reseñas de la Crítica

I loved this book. It was a wonderful mix of everything that I love within a book. Teri Terry, this sits on par with Slated

I love Contagion. It has an interesting premise and the story is told with great action and a breathless pace. The central characters are well-drawn and relatable. It blends several genres -- conspiracy thriller, dystopian, sci-fi, even a bit of the supernatural -- to great effect. It has a wonderful, evocative setting and sense of landscape. I think Teri Terry has a real talent for writing exciting stories that are accessible and easy to read but also have a thought-provoking thematic depth. She makes you think

Another award winner from Teri Terry! [...] This book is fantasy but thought provoking, much of it chillingly believable. [...] it has so many twists and turns that will keep the reader intrigued. Can't wait for the next one in this trilogy. Get a copy soon and enjoy. (Linda Brown, school librarian)

Fast-paced and intriguing... a gripping cliff-hanger!

I love Teri Terry!

I finished the Slated series by Teri Terry and struggled to find another book to really capture my attention until this! She's a great world builder and creates compelling characters.

Enjoyable Listen

I really enjoyed the majority of this book. I thought it was clever despite dealing with a theme that's been written about by so many others. There were quite a few characters that I instantly like, the main protagonist being one of them. Whew!

Both narrators were very good, but Laura Aikman was definitely my favourite. I'm very picky with narrators, but I think I might have found my new favourite one. She's really very good at both dialects and delivering emotion and action.

The story started off really good, but for me it sort of sagged a bit in the middle. Also, the hearty eyed, teenage love at first sight isn't quite my cup of tea. Personally I could have done without much of the oogling and longing. I also found the main protagonist's doubts in the mid part and onwards a bit...it felt a little bit put in there for the sake of being there.

There isn't a great diversity in this book. So if that's something important to you then this book might not be for you.

But those were the only few things that I noticed. Other than that it was a good, solid, and entertaining listen.
