On one side of the Rift is a technological paradise without famine or want. On the other side is a mystery.

Meh

It was just ok. I could not get in the the main character and so the whole thing felt flat. The narrator did not help with all the voices sounding the same which is odd cause I have listened to this narrator on other books and liked her.

Very Entertaining story

I loved the book. The voice in the reading lacked the ability to vary in tone, cadence and quality for me to tell who the characters were when speaking. overall I give it two thumbs up.

Captivating

I couldn’t stop listening to the story even though the main character was frustrating due to her closed mind, stubbornness and know it all (I guess regular 16 year old). She did turn around towards the end.
I wish this book was made into a movie. It would be interesting to see all magic come alive.
The narrator was amazing with her changing intonation and giving each character their voice.
Story is captivating and always changing . There is no dull moment in this book

magic vs tecnology

great story. engaging and good to listen to. I enjoyed the story and the narrator was awesome!

My opinion

I personally loved the story, which I haven't read a Jeff Hirsch I haven't loved.The narrator was slow to the pick up but she started to get it to the characters and it turned out well in the end.
