The Union

De: Leah Vernon

Narrado por: Alaska Jackson, Sisi Aisha Johnson, Kirby Heyborne

From author Leah Vernon comes the action-packed second installment in the Union series about a young woman’s battle for power in a racially divided futuristic world.

A thousand years into the future, a Black elite class reigns while the underclass toils at their feet. With her society’s future hanging in the balance, young Avi Jore enters into an arranged marriage. But the ceremony turns violent when the servants rebel and kill Avi’s father.

In the aftermath of General Jore’s death, Avi and her sister Jade vie for power in a vicious contest. As the rightful heir, Avi has no choice but to defend what’s hers—at any cost. With her loyalties tested and her enemies closing in, Avi must rely on her sister Saige, who searches for allies outside the Union’s walls.

As Avi and Saige navigate threats and betrayals in the wake of worsening unrest, they forge a path forward that could forever change their turbulent world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Vernon's dystopian novel…is expertly narrated by the vocal acting talents of co-narrators Alaska Jackson, Sisi Aisha Johnson, and Kirby Heyborne. Of special and particular interest to science fiction fans.”—Midwest Book Review

“This quick-paced, violent, and at times heart-wrenching fantasy and sf blend will have readers at the edge of their seat as multiple, often flawed, perspectives navigate a war sparked by race and an incessant hunger for power. Fans of Susan Collins, N.K. Jemisin, and Pierce Brown will appreciate the world building and the well-developed characters used to present very real and serious topics.”—Booklist

SO happy there was a sequel!

My favorite characters are back and I didn’t have to wait too long. I wanted to know what the Union’s fate was and I’m pretty satisfied with the ending. Mixed feelings about the fate of some of the characters, though. The pacing was off on some parts like others said but overall great. Not a fan of the voice for Avi but it was very fitting for Jade.

EXCELLENT sequel! Give me more!

I couldn’t wait for this sequel to be released after finishing The Union. I even refreshed by listening to The Union again before listening. Loved this follow up and the expanded story line. Can def see this as a tv series or movie! Would love more to this story! Book 3??

Fantastic Journey

I’m not big on fantasy but this story was too good!
I enjoyed every moment.
