Story
A thousand years in the future, a Black elite class reigns. The lower classes toil in the fields or scrape by in blighted cities, serving their rulers in a cruel, divided world. Among the Elites is eighteen-year-old Avi Jore, born to a powerful father and destined to rule. But as she comes of age, Avi cannot help but notice the injustices in her world - the treatment of enslaved workers, the oppression of the lower classes. Her disillusionment grows when she meets Saige Wilde, a mixed-race enslaved girl whose only goal is escaping beyond the borders of their brutal nation.

Story
Princess Annika has lived a life of comfort—but no amount of luxuries can change the fact that her life isn’t her own to control. The king, once her loving father, has gone cold, and Annika will soon be forced into a loveless marriage for political gain. Miles away, small comforts are few and far between for Lennox. He has devoted his life to the Dahrainian army, hoping to one day help them reclaim the throne that was stolen from them. For Lennox, the idea of love is merely a distraction—nothing will stand in the way of fighting for his people.

Story
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting it, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us. Nothing but good old-fashioned no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying; I’m just peeling an onion.)

Similar but different
It is always interesting to read a futuristic novel and wonder if our world could become like that. This is similar to The Giver and To Kill a Mockingbird, but has its own insights and problems. I really enjoyed this book.

why is the music?
great story, I've read all the books
There are, however, random music clips throughout the story?? I know they did it as a way to "enhance" particular scenes but it was just unfitting for the most part

phone on vibrate?
I could hear throughout the story a phone vibrating. bizarre. I thought it was my phone but I would rewind and relisten... definitely the recording.

Loved the story, hated the voice
I loved the story but didn’t like the narrator. She had a very high pitched and sort of annoying voice.

Good - BUT music is a bit annoying
I really enjoyed the story line and how the characters and plot twists unfolded. I did find that the added music (thankfully only in a few places) distracted from listening to the story and allowing the listener to develop their own scene. I enjoy audio books but I found myself annoyed by the addition of music. The music was too loud and overwhelmed the narration. Perhaps if it was much quieter I wouldn’t have minded it so much. A disappointing addition.
