Story4.5 out of 5 stars 34
Glade Io is a trained killer. Marked at a young age as an individual with violent tendencies, she was taken from her family and groomed to be a Datapoint—a biotech-enabled analyst who carries out the Culling. She is designed to identify and destroy any potential humans that threaten the colonies: those marked as lawbreakers, unproductive or sick. But when she’s kidnapped by rogue colonists known as the Ferrymen, everything Glade thinks she knows about the colonies, and The Authority that runs them, collapses into doubt.

Story4 out of 5 stars 59
When Lark was sentenced to 25 years behind bars, she thought San Judas was her lucky break. The primitive 16,000-acre community in rural New Mexico isn't like any other prison. There are no cells, there is no warden, and Mother Mercy is the law. She didn't realize she'd be fighting for survival on a daily basis - battling hunger, violent inmates, and Mother Mercy's iron fist. Lark's only friend is Bernie - an off-the-rails environmental activist doing time for arson - and a mysterious stranger who's been sending her illicit messages from the men's colony.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 87
There will come a day when love will mark you as a traitor. In a society where emotions are nothing and function is everything, Avlyn Lark is just trying to blend in. She's lucky to be alive, unlike her twin brother Ben who died when they were four. And she's lucky to have been taken from her biological parents and assigned to a Level Two family. But mastering her emotions? That's a problem, especially when a rebel bomb blows up a building right in front of her. Then on Configuration Day, Avlyn's official transition to adulthood, she starts seeing strange visions. And instead of being placed with a low-level tech company where she could hide away, she's hired by Genesis Technologies, the government firm that monitors every citizen. Now, instead of blending in, Avlyn fears she'll be exposed for what she really is.

cheesy narrator for a meh story
- By NAOMI C ST AMAND on 07-13-17
Publisher's Summary
When everything she’s ever known is a lie, one young woman must make a choice that could change the course of history.
Glade Io is torn between two worlds. She’s a trained killing machine - selected by the ruthless Authority to be a Datapoint, a tech-enabled agent of the state who eliminates threats to the human colonies throughout the solar system in the Culling. But her time among rogue colonists called the Ferrymen has convinced her that The Authority has far more sinister plans in store, and all the justifications they fed to her are lies. Vowing to help the rebels fight The Authority from the inside, Glade must sabotage a captured Ferryman ship that The Authority is planning to use to attack the Ferrymen stronghold.
Though Glade is drawn to the brave leader of the Ferrymen, Kupier, she has older loyalties as well. Her friend and mentor Dahn Enceladus is charismatic and ambitious, but although Glade cares for him, she can no longer trust him. Her younger sisters are also in danger of facing Datapoint testing, and now she’s being forced into an upgrade she cannot refuse. But help is about to arrive in an unlikely form: a ghost from her distant past.

Book 2 did not disappoint.
Book 2 was another great continuation of this story. Love the character development and the path that Glade is on. She is really growing further into a strong female character. I am curious the path of her "love" interests will take. There was a lot of conflict in this story which I appreciated. There was also a twist as well that I didn't exactly see coming. I knew I was going to be in for some kind of surprise but I didn't expect what happened...vague I know.
Again, I really thought the narrator did a stellar job!

Exciting adventure, impossible choices
At each turn you knew something was going to go wrong, but you weren't sure what. The story is full of relationships fraught with the challenge of restricted abilities to feel emotions, big brother watching and ever-human feelings of inadequacy and egotism compounded by underground political movements shrouded in secrecy and constant challenges of figuring out who to trust, who's the good guys, who's the bad or is everyone a bit of both..for much of the story you'll be guessing and there's always a sense of dread at what lies ahead has you on the edge of your seat.
The story is believable and keeps you thinking 'I can see this being our future'. There's plenty of intriguing tech, politics of the future and characters that you want to reach into the book and strangle!
I really enjoyed reading this - think I'll be buying others in the series
I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review - if you like dystopian sci-fi future, I think you'll be very happy with this one

When what's easy and what's right are worlds apart
This book picks up soon after book one, you should probably read book one first, you don't have to, but this book will make more sense if you do.
I couldn't help but feel for Glade, she's been put in a situation that seems impossible. Questioning everything that she's been told there's no easy way out, and that's what makes this book so good. Glade has to overcome her feelings and the people trying to control her.
There's lots going on in this book and as it progresses so many things start to make sense while others show that the weren't what they first seemed. Plenty of twists here and lots of action.
I'm really enjoying this world, it's detailed and the people seem so real, I cant wait to find out what happens in the next book.
The narration is excellent, the character voices are brilliant and at times had me forgetting that I was listening to only one person. The delivery was spot on!
I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher and I voluntarily wrote this honest review.

Loving this series!
Ramona Finn is a new author to me. I read The Culling 1st and was excited to read The Authority! I would say that, so far, each book stands on it's own, but, don't do it! Read both! The development of each character is at a highly experienced level. Their relationships are believable, the thoughts and behaviors/reactions are spot on. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series, The Ferrymen.
I keep saying 'read', but, in reality, I listened on audiobook. Stacey Blemboski does a fantastic job with the narration. I believed her when the characters were upset, laughing, sad, concerned. Each feeling and thought was well played. I also found that her narration of the story was easy and flowed well through the cadence and timber of her voice.
I highly recommend this series!

Very Good Book!
I enjoyed the story line of this book. I have not listened to Book 1 yet, but was still able to follow Book 2. The narrator does a great job with all the different characters in this book. I would recommend this book to anyone of all ages. I am looking forward to listening to the other books in this series.

OMG!!!!!
I freakin love this series! So much happened in this book I wouldn’t even know how to comment on it all. So I’ll just say this, this is an amazing serious you need to have in your life. Glade kicks ass and takes names. Dahn plays an important role in this book and Haven is as creepy as ever. I can’t wait for the next book.

Pretty good continuation, great narration.
Overall this was a pretty enjoyable book. My gripe is that it felt like some of the characters were... frustratingly dense. This was frustrating for me because I didn't feel like the same characters were portrayed in this manner during the first book. Additionally, as interesting as the tech in this book is the descriptions of how they are used is pretty hand-wavy and bland. That said, I did enjoy the ongoing story and look forward to finding out how it ends in book 3.
Narration by Stacey Glemboski was, again, superb and I have no complaints. If anything, the narration helped keep me engaged in listening to this book despite my frustration with some of the character behavior. If you enjoyed her narration in book 1 you know what to expect.

So many twists
I loved getting more into Glade's world. I've enjoyed following her and I'm really enjoying finding more about her.I completely agree with Dahn that she's some kind of unsolvable puzzle even with being in her mind. Glade doesn't react at all like I'd expect accept when it comes to how she feels about Kupier. I love following her story and seeing how this is all going to pan out even with all the twists thrown in. Stacey's voice just helps the story become more alive in my mind and helps make the ride much more enjoyable.

The Authority Strikes Back
The story is getting more thrilling and closer to a climax. Not much of a fan of the love triangle with Dom, but I do feel sorry for him. The part of the mother was irritating, but it added many needed details. Really liked the super tech, 'til it went rouge. The next book will bring the final battle of the ferrymen against the authority, get wait!

Just as exciting as the first
I loved the first book in this series and the second did not disappoint me either! Our main character's life has been flipped on its head when she learns more and more about how corrupt the government is and how they seem to be wanting to murder its citizens who are free thinkers and dreamers. This book was exciting with many twists and turns. If you haven't listened to the first one, pick it up first since this is a continuation, but if you enjoyed the first book, then you'll love this one too!
