Island of Silence

The Unwanteds, Book 2

De: Lisa McMann

Narrado por: James Langton

The second book in the middle-grade dystopian fantasy series that Kirkus Reviews calls "The Hunger Games meets Harry Potter", by New York Times best-selling author Lisa McMann.

Following the life-altering events at the conclusion of The Unwanteds, the stark world of Quill and the magical haven of ArtimÉ are now home to whoever wants to live there, whether they are Wanteds, Unwanteds, or Necessaries.

In ArtimÉ, Alex Stowe and his friends continue to hone their artistic magical spells while welcoming newcomers, wondering how long this peace between Quill and ArtimÉ will last. Alex is stunned when Mr. Today comes to him with a very special request - one Alex questions his readiness for, until circumstances offer a dramatic answer.

And back in Quill, Aaron Stowe, Alex's twin, faces a very different path. Devastated by his loss of status after Justine's defeat and seething with rage toward Alex, Aaron is stealthily planning his revenge and return to power.

Alex and Aaron's separate stories proceed with suspenseful pacing, colliding in a stunning climax that elevates sibling rivalry to epic proportions and leaves the fates of both worlds hanging in the balance.

I liked it too much

It was good but not as good as the book you now reading it l still liked it

Great

Really good middle reader book. You really should check out this book. Best read ever!

Amazing Continuation

I am loving listening to this series with my kids. This one was great and terrible at the same time. My 9 year old is the one who is really into it, but the 7 year old enjoys it as well. Alex is a hero and Mr. Today is set on how life should proceed. I like that we see things from both Alex and his twin brother, Aaron's points of view. I must say I really still don't like Aaron at all.
Artime is still a magical place but this one shows how quickly life can change. I laughed, cried, got angry and happy. This book is really well written and I believe can teach some lessons. Alex needs to believe in himself more and there are lots of trust issues. Not to mention the other islands and some new characters we meet. There was something that happened that I was completely shocked by but I understand why the author did it (though I so don't like it). I need to listen to the next book to see what happens!
It was a 5/5 for me. I'm really starting to love these characters.

A wonderful book

A wonderful book that you probably should not read before bed I can't be a little creepy and I has the biggest cliffhanger I've ever heard

Amazing book! Can't wait to listen to book 3

The best!
I absolutely how the narrator does Simber. The rumble of his voice matches the growling voice of the cheetah. The book was very well done. But I was so ticked off when Mr. Today dies. SPOILER ALERT! HE DOES! But other than that, the book is amazing. The creativity and magic in the book is awesome. I recommend this book to everyone!👏👍

Unwanted Island of Silence

Good book the last 100 pages were interesting the rest was just a talking narration liked the book though. 😎

THE BEST

This series is the the best series I’ve ever read, I love this series, I sometimes have a trouble reading, but that’s what I love with this series, it’s awesome and it can be read to you.

Amazing

I have read the last two books with the audiobook. Helps a lot. The narrator has been amazing, the way words are said really makes the characters come alive!

Good listen

Was a bit slow in the beginning but got me hooked till the next book!

What

I love the story. But I hate when they leave a book with so much unresolved. now I have to go out and get the next one just so I can find out what happens.
