Publisher's summary

After escaping execution, Hannah finds herself where she's always wanted to be...outside the valley of slaves. But the relief doesn't last, not when the rest of her people are still suffering.

It's time to return.

With the promise of help coming and the strength of new comrades, Hannah and Cash cross the mountains to rejoin the revolution. But winter has come, and the situation has only grown darker. The Outcasts are dying. The rebels are losing ground. With limited time, the rebel soldiers must hurry to try to convince more Watchers to renounce the Council's authority before the South arrives to take back their people.

Good series!

I received this audiobook for free in exchange for an impartial review. I listened to the first book in this series and knew I needed to listen to the second book, “Hero”. There is excellent character development and the storyline contains a lot of detail. The rebellion of slaves, with the help of guards who had developed a conscience, is still iffy. The North is sending an army but it hasn’t arrived yet, and things are already dicy. The narrator is excellent!

Interesting Book

To those who enjoy this genre this is a entertaining read with a good variety of characters.


The Narrator did a good job with the material.


This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

much better than book 1

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, going into this book, I was dreading it. I didn't really enjoy the first book very much. I thought the main character was whiney and weak for someone who supposedly grew up in a harsh, dystopian world. That being said, this book was much better. The main character is not as whiney in this book and comes across as having more strength. A MUCH needed change from the first book. The narration in this book is still very good. I wouldn't classify this book as a favorite, but it definitely redeems itself from the first book.

Eh

First book was definitely better. This one was slow and a little boring and the main character is annoying but I’m still listening to the last book lol

Sequel to Slave

Great sequel and builds upon the first book. I had received this book first and after listening I went back and read the first book before going back to this.

It’s a short book so if you don’t like it you didn’t lose too much time and if you did well you’ll eagerly await the sequel

loved it

Hero was such a great listen. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. This was a perfect ending.

Hannah. Is. Awesome.

I fell in love with Hannah in the first book, Slave. She was wide-eyed innocence caught up into something she didn't understand in that book. In Hero, she's growing into her own. She's a bit headstrong and makes some mistakes, but Hanna is awesome!

Stacy Glemboski is an excellent narrator. There are some ups and downs and some growing pains for Hannah in this listen. The narration kept everything in flow.

I'm glad there is a book three. There is a bit of a jolt in this listen and I can't wait for the next installment.

I can not wait for the next book I am hooked

this is the second in a series and I can not wait for the third.... the reader is pretty good and the story addictive

five stars!

Characters were flushed out and flawed. (in a good way!) Story line was very compelling! Laura is an excellent author! I am really looking forward to more from her!!! This book was given to me as a review copy.

OMG, so good!

I've been waiting for this book for what feels like an age, I really loved book 1 and it feels like book 2 has been a very long time in coming, so I was very excited to start listening to it and I had very high expectations.

Thankfully the book lived up to the hype that I built in my mind. It picks up shortly after book 1 and all of the characters I loved so much from the first book appear in this book as well.

During the book, there's a lot of tension, there's a lot happening in the book it moves at quite a fast paced most of the time. The characters bravery and determination shine through, during both the action scenes and during the dialogue. I found I couldn't stop listening to it, despite the length being over 6 hours I listened to it in one go without any breaks.

The narration is first class, Stacey is an narrator I can listen to over and over. She has great emotional death in her delivery and the character voices are always distinct and somehow managed to match the personalities of the characters, it was a joy to listen too.

I'm looking forward to book 3, hopefully it doesn't take as long as book 2 did.

I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.
