Serpentine

By: Christy Dietz

Narrated by: Amanda Barber

Determined to survive, an orphaned Esther must fight a rising new order in a broken America. This new order, the Federation of Acceptance, enforces directives that jeopardize human rights and beliefs. Esther must decide where she stands as she faces disappearing teachers, murdered classmates, and a traitorous ex-flame. Haunted by the mistakes of her parents’ past, Esther is forced to make decisions that will affect the lives of everyone around her.

On the run from the Federation in an endless quest for truth, Esther must rise up to lead a resistance of people willing to lose it all for what matters most—their God, their freedom, and an everlasting hope.

Wow, in the best way

I really feel like all I can say is, “whoa. Just whoa.” I didn’t know what to expect with this story, and it doesn’t disappoint. Especially the ending….boy do I hope there’s a sequel. Some parts made me squirm because it definitely feels like this is a direction our world as we know it can go, and it’s Orwellian-ly scary to think about. Powerful book. And my main takeaway? Love God, and love others. The narrator did great, btw. I enjoyed her voice and her pace was fast enough that I didn’t need to speed up the recording any.
