The Paradise Planets

The Fallen from Paradise

By: Shaun Barrowes

Narrated by: Full Cast

All sirens must earn their place on Paradise…even those born there.

In 2132 AD, fifteen-year-old Kassiana’s life was royalty. Born on Nemal, the richest of the Paradise Planets, she had no idea how the people of Earth–the Gaians–suffered. But her idyllic and harmonious life was shattered when she was forcefully kidnapped and taken to live among them on a flooded Earth.

After a near-fatal assault leaves Kassi without a voice–a siren's source of power–Kassi learns she must get recruited to a team of champions and win the Siren Games, the foremost vocal sporting competition in all the worlds, if she ever wants to see home again.

I’m afraid I will never find another audiobook as good as this one

This book blew me out of the water (ride the tide!!) haha sorry couldn’t help myself with the water pun lol but seriously this book has it all!! Great voice actors, the background noises, the SOUNDTRACK?! I mean come on it was epic! This set the bar so high being the first audiobook I ever heard and then I went on to read another that was just one person silently reading a book and changing their voice slightly for other characters! My standards are too high now lol anyways this is easily my new favorite book and I have been telling everyone I know about it and I can’t wait to read it again when I hear of the next one being released 🤍🩵🤍🩵

So entertaining! I couldn’t stop listening

I love the background music, sound effects and all the different voices and personalities. It was so entertaining! I’m so sad it’s over. The story totally sucked me in. I loved it so much! I can’t wait for the next book to come out.

unique

I will be anxiously awaiting the announcement for book 2. This book has officially set the bar for audio books for me with an entire cast narrating the whole thing, a full musical score from start to finish, and literally every single amazing thing that I love about storytelling. I honestly can not get enough, and the songs that are in the book are also available on music streaming platforms, so I will be adding them to my list immediately. I will say that there are some potential triggers for people who might be sensitive to information about abuse, death, etc but it's an AMAZING book and I cannot get enough.

Enchanting

Loved everything about this story and performance. In the beginning it was a bit difficult to get used to the full cast and audio but after two chapters I was hooked! I really wish other audiobooks did this type of immersive reading. Can’t wait until book two is available!

The music!!

This book was not at all what I expected. I went into it, not expecting much, but was so pleasantly surprised. I was shocked when I heard the first song. It brought the game to life for me.
