Finding Axiom

The Antiarch Trilogy, Volume 1

De: Eryn Carpenter

Narrado por: Zachary Johnson

When Finn, a 16-year-old Enforcer-In-Training, learns that The Wall built to keep citizens safe from The Wild is really a cage, he starts questioning all he's been taught. Maybe animals aren't as dangerous as he's been conditioned to believe. Maybe his rebel parents aren't the bad guys. Maybe he's playing for the wrong team. Finn must choose a side; either way it will cost him. His family, or his future...but neither are as terrifying as what may lurk beyond The Wall.

This is book one of a trilogy - all three books are available in print but I am waiting for the audiobook format. At the end of the audiobook includes teaser of book two,

Finding Axiom

I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

I was surprised at how good this was. I don't have a lot of experience in this genre, but Finding Axiom didn't disappoint. Maybe I should give some more books in this genre a try.

Did you know animals could converse?

What made the experience of listening to Finding Axiom the most enjoyable?

Eryn Carpenter did a fantastic job on developing the characters and setting this world up.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite was Piper. She had an air about her that was strong yet very vulnerable.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Barstow finally decided to be heard.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The narrator did a fantastic job and kept you right there all the time.

Any additional comments?

I sorta like the idea that everything outside the walls are not supposed to be safe for you, yet they patrol it. Why have a wall, then. Oh yeah, to keep the animals and trees out. But what about the safety of the patrols?

Not bad

Note: I listened to the audio version of this book and it was provided at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBlast.

This book had elements reminiscent of the Hunger Games of Divergent series. Except there was a bit of a twist I wasn't expecting. The twist comes fairly early on, but I don't want to mention too much except to say that it happened when the protagonist met Barstow. Plot-wise it was decent, but the ending was rather anti-climactic. If the second one ends in a similar manner then it seems this would have been better off as one long novel rather than a trilogy. The narrator's performance was pretty good; if I had anything to change it would be that there was more distinction with some of the voices ... he did a good job distinguishing most of the male voices, but Barstow didn't really sound much different from the protagonist - the same held true with the protagonist's sister and love interest.

All in all, this book wasn't too bad. I'm curious to know where Finn's journey takes him in the end.
