À propos de cet audio

A New York Times bestseller!

This edition includes bonus content, and a teaser to book two in this heart-pounding series!

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, this young adult fantasy follows the forbidden romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive their kingdom’s grueling laws pitting them against each other.

She is the very thing he’s spent his whole life hunting.

He is the very thing she’s spent her whole life pretending to be.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be keenly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to stay alive and out of trouble…easier said than done.

When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites’ powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is…completely Ordinary.

(I returned the book after about a third of the book.) The book was performed very well in my honest opinion... and the author did well setting scenes but the dialog was stale and cringy. i wasn't interested in the well foreseen redemption of characters... Nor can i overlook the glaring plot hole in the interactions between 2 of the main characters.

Good if your into the enemies to lovers trope, but for me it left little to be desired.

Well performed but writing was lacking IMO

This book is good. Has a good story. But I seriously don’t understand why in the male chapters he is voicing the female parts and vice versa in the female chapters. There are two actors they could have played all male and female parts, rather than having the female actress do a weird low voice for the male characters and the male actor doing a weird high pitched voice for the female characters. It doesn’t make sense. Ruins the listeners ability to really get engulfed in the story.

Two voice actors, why are they still playing both parts?!

Not my favourite book by any means, narration was mid, storyline was confusing and cringe most of the time. Had potential!

Definitely YA coded

I liked it. Great teen book, easy book to read. Good flow. I loved the banter between the two main characters. Loved the concept of the powers. Good set up for next book too.

Awesome book

First of all THE TENSION between Kai and Paedyn is very well written, i thought it was going to be overwhelming with all the tropes but god Lauren did an incredible job. I can appreciate a good “i’m a feminist obviously, but I wouldn’t really mind him saving me” moment but I feel like Paedyn deserves to save herself a little more, she’s definitely capable but she seems to often get saved which is the only thing I hope to see some growth in during Reckless. I do occasionally feel like some romantic lines are the book feel “cringy” but the world building, the twists and general story line is incredible so it didn’t make me falter too much. Also, i’m the same age as Lauren and saw her giving us spoilers of the book for like two years now, this was an incredible decision on Simon and Schuster for picking her up AND BRINGING HER BOOK TO AUDIBLE!! She is doing an amazing job and I cannot wait to see how these characters evolve!

100% Would Recommend

Nothing spectacular or original. I really enjoyed the male actor’s performance, but the woman’s performance of Kai is not good. I didn’t hate it, but I don’t think I’m going to spend my next credit on the second book.

Entertaining, but meh.

I really enjoyed this story! Theres definitely room for improvement, I wish the author had of gone more into depth with the characters and settings. Overall there’s a lot of potential here for a great series and I’ll definitely be watching out for the next book.

Overall a great listen

I really enjoy Paedyn and Kai’s POV’s! They are both very interesting characters with a lot of trauma. I enjoy their banter and the flow of the story. It isn’t too rushed or drags. The voice actors are both excellent for these roles and I thoroughly enjoy how they read the characters. I did find that the only Paedyn was concerned about the trials and that was bizarre to me that the other people didn’t have an issue with it.

Gives the Hunger Games if it was less self aware and focused on the romance more than how messed up the world is.

So many emotions all in one book. The story was captivating till the end. I couldn't stop. I can't believe I have to wait for the next book. The narrators were equally talented. Just WOW!!

Amazing !
