Numbers Raging: Numbers Game Saga, Volume 3

By: Rebecca Rode

Narrated by: Stacey Glemboski

In this thrilling conclusion to the Numbers Game Saga, it's been 10 weeks since Treena returned to NORA. The council has rejected her war preparations at every turn, and Dresden is backpedaling on his promises. When he tells everyone the danger has passed and denies there was ever a threat, Treena's secret followers push her to unseat Dresden and take control - something she can't bear to consider now with NORA on the brink of war. Meanwhile, infighting at Vance's settlement is turning into violent unrest and the drought has made his settlement's future bleak. Joining NORA seems inevitable, but Vance refuses to give in...not with war looming over their cities. Not when it means putting his younger sisters in danger. When Treena goes overseas to plead for help, Vance is torn between his responsibilities and his heart. Together, Treena and Vance must navigate the political undercurrents of a strange new country, convince an indifferent world of their plight, and somehow stay together despite a prince's determination to tear them apart.

Numbers Raging was as captivating as ever!

This was a great book, and it had good ending. Although it was rather abrupt.

MUST READ SERIES! Fills the Void Left by Divergent

Any additional comments?

Numbers Raging is the third book in the compelling Numbers Game series by Rebecca Rode. This series is exciting, adventurous, and gripping - so much so that you'll be listening in bed well past your bedtime on a school night! As I mentioned in my reviews of the first two books in the story, the overall story arc is reminiscent of the classic The Handmaid's Tale with its "new world order" destined to fail because citizens are not given certain basic freedoms.

Numbers Raging begins only two months after Numbers Ignite ends, so you should definitely read them in order. Treena is a now a council woman in NORA. The rest of the council rejects Treena's warnings that war is imminent and Dresden sends Treena to a European summit to drum up support for NORA's struggles. Meanwhile a serious illness is befalling those that live outside the city's walls, just like it had a few hundred years before.

What I love most about the Numbers Game series is how Treena is a great role model for young women today. She displays great courage and a willingness to sacrifice herself to save the rest of "her" people. Her faith in the inherent goodness of people is truly inspiring (even if she is too naive at times).

Stacey Glemboski narrated this audiobook, as she did with the prior two books in the series. She did an outstanding job, providing distinct and consistent voices for all characters throughout the series. She maintained great intonation and pace, conveying urgency in all the right places. The Numbers Game series definitely fills the void left after the Divergent and Hunger Games series ended. Brava!

Satisfying ending to the series

This third and final book the numbers raging series was satisfying in that it wrapped things up just how I thought they should be. There were a few twists and turns along the way, but thankfully everyone got what they had coming.

Like the previous audiobooks, I felt the narrator didn't do the best job distinguishing voices, but this one was a bit easier to follow. The pacing and pronunciations were consistent and good.

Overall, having finished this series, I would recommend it to fans of the genre. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great series

Any additional comments?

Great conclusion to the series. I'm sorry to see it end. I enjoyed this book just as much as I did each book in the series including the novellas. Once again the story pulled me right in and held my complete attention from start to finish. It's just a creative entertaining, engaging and very enjoyable series with a great cast of characters. It had a great ending that didn't leave you hanging or have unresolved issues. I actually really like that it leaves it open for the possibility of more stories set in this world in the future. If the series does continue in any way it is one I would definitley be interested in.

Having just reads Richards story right before this one I did feel like the story was repeating in some areas. When Treena is reading Richards journal/diary.

It may be a fictional story but it holds some very thoughtful analysis of the world we live in. Chan has some very insightful and meaningful thoughts of the world and people in general in chapter 27. Their struggles and what they are fighting for makes you think of todays world.

Stacy Glemboski once again does a fantastic job with the narration. She was the perfect narrator for this series. Pleasant voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. Clearly spoken with a nice even pace. Really good character voices. She brought the story and characters to life through her narration. Very enjoyable.
