Perfect Combination of Writer and Narrator

I love and listen to audiobooks across genres. I love fantasy, science fiction, literary fiction, and even biographies. Rarely do I come across a pairing where the story is compelling and the narrator feels perfectly suited to the source material. This was one of those situations. Alex does a fantastic job breathing life into Emma and K. Vider's other characters as she brings us through the story. K. Vider's story is riddled with so much humanity for a story about boys who are supposed to be basically monsters. There's so much heart in it and I look forward to seeing where this story goes next!

A unique, and enjoyable take on a dystopian future

of exposition. He gives you just the right amount of information to leave you hoping for more.

The topics are familiar, super soldiers, lost technology found again in a dystopian world, but Vider presents genre mainstays in a way that makes them feel fresh again; as though it’s your first time experiencing them.

The characters never come off as flat, or phoned in stereotypes as is so often in these stories; each is unique and fully fleshed out, with their own thoughts, quirks and motivations.

The stellar performance by Alex Furness serves to really pull you into the world. I found myself hoping for a sequel the moment the book was finished.
