I don’t know what to say. The narrator has a very pleasant voice. Th story line is ok. BUT, it was hard to listen to. The narrator seemed to read a line emphasize at the end of the line. Even though the sentence was not finished.. almost like it was a question even though the sentence was not a question. The pitch would go up. At first I thought it was the author but I don’t think so. The story its self was ok but did seem like it was coming from other stories that I read. Not all the time but some. I gave it two stars in both narrator and author unfortunately. I did listen till the end but I will not listen to a sequel .

This book is awesome from start to finish. I'm not going to give you any spoilers. Everyone will draw their own conclusion with this book. The narrator is excellent. question for author: Is there more to come?

Great story and narration

The idea is very interesting, but it felt like it took forever to get traction on the storyline. So many flashbacks and so much character building for minor characters. Cool concept but execution wasn’t great. It was entertaining enough but I ended up listening to it on 1.6x speed to get through it faster. I don’t think I’ll listen to the sequel. The narrator was ok, just didn’t like her “accents” or voices for other characters and found them grating. Overall this book was entertaining for a palette cleanser but I would rate it as “ok” and not great.

This book was GREAT! Absolutely loved the story line. Very beautifully written! The narrator was ok.

This was an amazing book that I still think about months after reading! What a cool world she built.

I really loved the beauty and brutality of this story. The more you learned the more disgusted you became but also curious about what was going to happen next. There was no plot armor for anyone in this story, everyone loses something or someone. Physical strength can only get you so far is Circo the biggest battles are adaptability. The only way through this book is through. On one hand, If I had to change anything I wish there were less flashbacks. I feel like every other chapter we spent more time in the flashback than putting together real time pieces of information. On the other hand, a journey like the blood race requires knowing about the past so flashbacks are appropriate. This is a story you have to sit with and commit to seeing through. The narrator brings every emotion to life and was perfect for the role. 5 stars from me.

Loved this story.

Completely enthralling! If you liked The Hunger Games and any amount of fantasy then you'll love this. I'll be waiting on baited breath for the next book in the series.
