Burn

De: Julianna Baggott

Narrado por: Khristine Hvam, Casey Holloway, Kevin T. Collins, Nicholas Tecosky

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with Pure, recommended by People for those who loved The Hunger Games.

With his father now dead, Partridge has assumed leadership of the Dome, one of the last few refuges from the ravaged wastelands of the outside world. At first, Partridge is intent on exposing his father's lies, taking down the rigid order of the Dome, and uniting its citizens with the disfigured Wretches on the outside. But from his new position of power, things are far more complex and potentially dangerous than he could have ever imagined.

On the outside, a band of survivors faces a treacherous journey to Dome. Pressia carries with her the key to salvation. If she can get it to the Dome, the Wretches could one day be healed and everyone might be able to put the horrors of the past behind them. Bradwell, the revolutionary, cannot forgive so easily. Despite Pressia's pleas, he is determined to bring down the Dome and hold its citizens accountable for leaving the rest of the world to burn. El Capitan, the former rebel leader, wants to help Pressia save as many lives as possible--but he's struggling to reconcile his newfound compassion with his vicious past.

As former allies become potential enemies, the fate of the world is more uncertain than ever. Will humanity fall to destruction? Or will a new world rise from the ashes?

Not bad, but not great either

While I enjoyed learning more about the back story for many survivors, I would have liked the story to end with more finite details. What about the people in Ireland? Will Our Good Mother find Forsteed? Will Weed make good on his promise? I'm left with a few more questions than I'd prefer after a trilogy.

enjoyed listening to a clean story

I love a good dystopian fantasy. The three books in this series held my interest without having porn sex authors think they have to fill the pages to sell their books.

Not entirely fulfilled

Just as it was reaching the climax it ended.
It was a good trilogy, but it really left me unfulfilled.

Burn at last

The narration fit the story line perfectly. This last book was the best of the three. I enjoyed reading it and there was enough story for my imagination.

Sad

I loved the first book and second book in this trilogy, but walked away from this one sad and with unanswered questions. An epilog would have been nice, to answer some of them. The narrators once again did an excellent job of bringing all the characters to life, which made the end disappointing for me. If you read the first two books, you must finish it, but definitely not left with that "feel good feeling" you get when you finish a trilogy.

Be happy with yourself the way you are.

What did you love best about Burn?

The many different characters and their interaction.

What other book might you compare Burn to and why?

From what I read alone, maybe the Maze Runner. Because of the goals each had in common.

Which scene was your favorite?

Many different scenes. Too many to mention.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Pure - Change the world but not yourself

Any additional comments?

All three books were an enjoyable read. I like Sci-Fi and this was that and more. In many ways, it was quite different from what I am used to reading. It is an unusual story with an unusual ending.

Great story. I think it would make a good movie.

Looking forward to the next book. Hope it come out really soon. I'm thinking of who should be cast in the movie. 5 stars.

Extraordinary

I love this book series so much, so much emotion. I don’t like certain characters but that’s what makes it good. I fell in love with one of the characters, Bradwell, he is the absolute best character. I have mixed emotions about the ending, but that’s okay. I wish there was more to read but sadly there isn’t. All I will say is that the ending made me cry for a half an hour straight. A big thanks to the author, for this beautiful masterpiece. This is a must read, I repeat this series is a must read.

P.S. Bradwell and Pressia forever.
Also Bradwell is the best boi of all time and Partridge can go die in a hole ☺️.

Felt Unfinished

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend it. It was a good story with great characters. Like most, I didn't particularly care for the ending as it kind of left some unanswered questions, but it was well worth the credit.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

I liked all of them but Casey Holloway, she sounded robotic.

Spectacular performances

A great installment to one of my most recommended series. The performances here are some of the best I've heard yet.
