Until the Beginning

By: Amy Plum

Narrated by: Emily Rankin, Graham Hamilton

Amy Plum, internationally bestselling author of the Die for Me series, delivers a heart-pounding adventure perfect for fans of Michael Grant, Veronica Rossi, and Alexandra Bracken. Until the Beginning is the sequel to After the End, which Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series and the Young Elites series, called “wonderfully riveting.” In this stunning and exhilarating conclusion to the duology, Juneau has been searching for her people and for answers . . . and she is about to find both.

When Juneau’s clan disappeared, she lost so much more than her friends and family. She soon discovered everything she thought she knew about her life was a lie. Her people’s gifts were actually secret abilities that others wanted, desperately enough to kidnap an entire village.

Juneau set off on a cross-country journey with her new companion, Miles, to find her clan, which led them to a game preserve in New Mexico. Now Juneau’s people are finally within reach, and she will stop at nothing to save them. But she has a target on her back too, because unbeknownst to her she is the key to unlocking everything. To rescue her people—and herself—Juneau must discover what she and her abilities are truly capable of.

Juneau and Miles make this adventure so fun

The banter and chemistry between Juneau and Miles make their road trip extra fun, especially in this book (#2).

Satisfying Conclusion to "After The End"

The abrupt ending to the first book in this series, "After the End," left me highly aggravated... but also desperate to take on "Until The Beginning," to find out what'd happen.

This is a largely enjoyable and entertaining continuation (and I assume conclusion) of Juneau and Miles' adventure. It delivers lots of action, a little too much Gaia hokum, a little too much teen romance/angst, and a lot of fun. There are bad guys galore, and epic battles, and a few surprises as we learn the mystery behind Juneau's tribe, Wit's betrayal, Amrit's origin and purpose, etc.

Narration by Rankin and Hamilton, who did the first book, remains solid and enjoyable.

In short, an entertaining and satisfying, if somewhat "light," read. It wouldn't break my heart for Plum to do a 3rd book in the series, so we learn where Juneau, her friends, and Clan all end up...

Awesome!

I really enjoyed this book and the first. No complaints other then a request for more. I NEED MORE!!!
