UNABRIDGED
By Moira Young
Narrated by Heather Lind
Length: 11 hrs and 17 mins
Release Date: 06-07-11
Saba has spent her whole life in Silverlake, a dried-up wasteland ravaged by constant sandstorms. The Wrecker civilization has long been destroyed, leaving only landfills for Saba and her family to scavenge from. That's fine by her, as long as her beloved twin brother, Lugh, is around. But when a monster sandstorm arrives, along with four cloaked horsemen, Saba's world is shattered. Lugh is captured, and Saba embarks on an epic quest to get him back.Did you miss yesterday's? Here it is!
Suddenly thrown into the lawless, ugly reality of the world outside of desolate Silverlake, Saba is lost without Lugh to guide her. So perhaps the most surprising thing of all is what Saba learns about herself: she's a fierce fighter, an unbeatable survivor, and a cunning opponent. And she has the power to take down a corrupt society from the inside. Teamed up with a handsome daredevil named Jack and a gang of girl revolutionaries called the Free Hawks, Saba stages a showdown that will change the course of her own civilization.

I loved Blood Red Road, and it's really interesting and cool hearing it on audio!
ReplyDeleteThis one has a soft voice but she puts enough emotion into it to keep me interested. I like her. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Heather Lind's work on Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare so this appeals to me.

I have been dying to read this book! Would love to listen to it :) The narrator seems to fit the voice of the book pretty well.
ReplyDeleteI love the narrators voice. I have listened to a few audiobooks where the female narrator has a softer voice and it has always kept my attention. I think it would work for this one.
ReplyDeleteThis narrator sounds a lot like the first book's narrator. Not too bad, could be a good listen.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough one for me. I like the readers voice, but I don't think she is great for this book. I feel like the dialect isn't really coming out the way I imagined it while reading the book. I think I would still like the audio though since I do like the reader.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...this one is just ok for me.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this giveaway!! I'm excited about trying audio books! This one was ok as well. I really haven't used any audio books so the only thing I can compare it to is my GPS.. They've all been much better than that! :)
ReplyDeleteLoved this book.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read this book and think it would be great as an audiobook! The narrator seems to read it well with a lot of personality. Thanks for the amazing giveaway - I would love to win!
ReplyDeleteI have really wanted to read this book and have heard so many great things about it. I really like this narrator. I think she is the best one this week.
ReplyDeleteLove the reader of Blood Red Road. She fit the book and character so well. Her narration of Blood Red Road is what got me hooked on audio books.
ReplyDeleteOf all the readers so far, I like this one the best. She's amazing! Her voice isn't monotone and flat, and for the different characters her voice changes are perfect. She fits Saba's slang into her speech amazingly!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a long exerpt! I really like the narrator. I feel like I might have listened to one of her books before, but I can't place it.
ReplyDeleteI actually listened to this book. I think the reader is really amazing. I love love love her voice.
ReplyDeleteWow, the narrators voice is perfect for this book.
ReplyDeleteFree stuff is the best in the world!
ReplyDeleteI love this narrator! I think that she is the best narrator so far :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brandi, I listened to Blood Red Road with this narrator in its entirety and she is WONDERFUL. She is just how I imagine Saba...this is one of my fave Dystopian novels ever & I cannot WAIT for Rebel Heart!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this narrator - sounds young but not like a little kid. She still has her youth, but also awareness of the situation around her.
ReplyDeleteWhoa! So cool to havr free audiobooks. I'll add it to my collection. Thanks a lot for this.
