The way to freedom

I had mixed feeling about this book. I knew, when I first started listening to it the main character would be young (eleven years old), which is fine. However, as the book progressed the young girl seemed to act older then her age and she managed to get another person (15 years old) to break a rule. After this certain things that happen become unbelievable for me. If we knew more about the world before this happened then I might have excepted the things the main character and the reaction of the secondary characters due to this.
I felt this was a good story but as I mentioned before there were a few things that I found really hard to believe even for a fantasy.
Then, I hear you say why did I give it four stars? Well, the author had me intrigued and they had me listening to the whole audiobook, so, in my opinion they deserve the four stars. If the other things in the book where solved then I would have given it a five.
Would I listen/read book two? Yes, it would be interesting to see what happens in the world (we got hints of change) and how the main character develops.
I felt this book is more for Middle grade, but adults might like it too.

Loved this book

The story held me captive from beginning to end .The narration was excellent ,after finishing book 1 I went and bought the box set

It could have been great.

I have edited my review because the ending just doesn't measure up. It feels like someone just cut off the last half of the story. I realize it's the first in a series. But, you don't just cut a story off to have another book.

Great story

A wonderful story, I love all the characters. Just a pity that it ended to abruptly...
