Towers

The Exigency Chronicles, Book 1

Humanity survived....

Barely, and thanks to networks of gigantic tower systems created to surround small villages with a protective barrier of lethal energy. It kept everything out...and everyone in.

Sixteen years have passed, and a girl born the night the world fell apart learns that she has a strange talent. The towers can speak, and she is the only one who can hear them.

A slow burn…

That really only grabbed my attention in the last 90 min or so. So much filler that could have been left out and probably combined with the second book to make it more exciting.
I will say the last 90 min were really good and will prob have me giving book two a shot.

Best I have heard/read in ages!

Caught me from the first chapter. Plot, narration, writing are all superb. Now I am going to spend some money on the next book!

Doesn’t stand alone on its own

It was a decent story but ends before anything is resolved. It’s the first in a series but it’s not a stand alone story and you have to get the next couple books for it to make sense. If your looking for a series it may be worth getting but as a one book story it’s not worth it.

Must Like YA Books

I chose this book based on all the great reviews. There were several reasons why I did not like the book. I truly just tolerate Young Adult books. After raising my children and currently my grandchildren, I am done with reading books better suited for teenagers and young adults. Secondly, I found the book slowing and hard to engage for all but the last 60 minutes. I was not compelled to press “play” so finishing the book took longer than most. I had no issues with the narration. I will not be continuing this series.

Furrowed Brows and Raised Eyebrows

This was fine. A lot of filler as others have said. If you take out the furrowed brows, raised eyebrows it’d be a novella.
