Resumen del Editor

The Moon Dwellers, book 1: In a desperate attempt to escape destruction decades earlier, humankind was forced underground into the depths of the Earth, creating a new society called the Tri-Realms. After her parents and sister are abducted by the Enforcers, 17-year-old Adele, a member of the middle-class moon dwellers, is unjustly sentenced to life in prison for her parents' crimes of treason.

At the other end of the social spectrum is Tristan, the son of the president and a sun dweller. His mother is gone. He hates his father. Backed by only his servant and best friend, Roc, he leaves his lavish lifestyle in the Sun Realm, seeking to make something good out of his troubled life.

When a war breaks out within the Tri-Realms, Tristan and Adele are thrust into the middle of a conflict as Adele seeks to find her family and uncover her parents' true past.

The Star Dwellers, book 2: After rescuing her father and younger sister, Adele is forced to leave her family and Tristan behind to find her mother in the cruel and dangerous realm of the star dwellers. Despite blossoming feelings for Adele, Tristan must cast his feelings aside and let her find her own way among the star dwellers while he accompanies Adele's father to meet the leaders of the moon dwellers and decide the fate of the Tri-Realms.

In their world there's only one rule: someone must die.

The Sun Dwellers, book 3: With those she's closest to dying around her, Adele embarks on a secret mission to the Sun Realm to assassinate the president. Along the way she'll uncover secrets about her relationship with Tristan that she might not be ready to face.

Tristan has a secret, too - one that's been eating him up inside ever since he met Adele. Will he reveal all and risk the loss of friendship and love at a time when he needs it the most?

This is the best bang for your buck!

Wow 3 awesome books for one credit! , can't wait for the next books from the saga to be available

Boring

Another book with irritating emotional girl/boy whining about life. Boohoo action, repeat......Female narrators voice irritated playing female character.

Wow!

I loved these books. I loved every moment exploring the moon, star and sun realm. The absolute cruelty some humans can possess, and the bravery others can show. I loved watching the characters grow, and the twists the story took. I really love that there is another trilogy (the country Saga) and then a book that brings both of the trilogies together. I plan on starting the Country Saga (not on audiobook...yet!) right away and then rejoining these amazing characters afterwards. Plus, 3 books for one credit, you really can't go wrong!
Happy listening!

loooove

Narrations were excellent. dystopian tale that did an amazing job! love the setting, there were some gut wrenchingly sad parts. there also were parts where you almost forgot yourself and fund yourself laughing and crying with the characters!

Good

I didn't particularly like the way the author chose too end it. It leaves you with too many unanswered questions. That aside, it's a great series.

Great!

I love this story. I love narrators. It was fast paced and the characters were easy to relate to. I was impressed.

Great Concept but Kind of Forgettable

Like my review title says, this story is built on a great concept, but the plot was a bit thin. I admire the strong character building, the female lead, in particular being a badass. There is much that goes unexplained regarding the how and why of people living underground. The narration is fantastic, which I expect from Julia Whelan, who is a master narrator.

Loved It!

This is a great dystopian novel not like others. The main character's grow as their lives change fast. There is great romance, fighting, adventure and danger in this fast paced story! The narrators are wonderful!!!!!

Exciting ride,

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dwellers Saga Omnibus to be better than the print version?

I enjoy a combination of the two,

What did you like best about this story?

The switching pov's and the way they merged together. This happened mostly in the first book, but some of it returned by the end of the third.

Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan and Will Damron – was your favorite?

I enjoyed both narrations although I wasn't overly fond of Will Damron's approach to the Adel character. She appeared too whiny.

Any additional comments?

This one took me by surprise. I could tell you about the riveting setting deep below the surface of the earth, the intriguing characters and the fast paced story line with two switching POV's. But, who cares. It a great listen with two great narrators that pull you right in. All I can say is Enjoy!!

I liked it better than the reviewers.

This is a well told story, easy to listen to and entertaining. It's better than the 4.3 rating and if you are wanting to be entertained for 29 hours - this is a great purchase.

One of the difficulties with this format is all books get judged against the best of the best. Which is unfair. When a person goes on a road trip or vacation, they do not simple purchase the most thought provoking story that will rewire neurons - they find a book that let's them escape from reality for a while.

The right tool, at the right price, for the right job. This book is. While this is not an earth shattering transcending tale that will make you question your existence - it's fun.
