Impostors

De: Scott Westerfeld

Narrado por: Thérèse Plummer

Deception. Risk. Betrayal. Redemption. Master storyteller Scott Westerfeld is at the top of his game, and back to his most famous realm.

Frey and Rafi are inseparable.... two edges of the same knife. But Frey's very existence is a secret. Frey is Rafi’s twin sister - and her body double. Their powerful father has many enemies, and the world has grown dangerous as the old order falls apart. So while Rafi was raised to be the perfect daughter, Frey has been taught to kill. Her only purpose is to protect her sister, to sacrifice herself for Rafi if she must.

When her father sends Frey in Rafi’s place as collateral in a precarious deal, she becomes the perfect impostor - as poised and charming as her sister. But Col, the son of a rival leader, is getting close enough to spot the killer inside her. As the deal starts to crumble, Frey must decide if she can trust him with the truth... and if she can risk becoming her own person.

With Impostors, master storyteller Scott Westerfeld returns with a new series set in the world of his mega-bestselling Uglies - a world full of twist and turns, rebellion and intrigue, where any wrong step could be Frey’s last.

Wonderful performance enhances entertaining story

Performance makes or breaks an audible book. Really enjoyed Therese Plummer’s reading of Scott Westerfeld’s enjoyable book.

Westerfeld does it again!

If you're a fan of Westerfeld, you won't be disappointed. You can't go into it expecting it to be like Uglies, but if you enjoyed Uglies, you'll enjoy this as well. Therese Plummer does a good job, no complaints here :)

OMG Scott Westerfeld, write more books immediately!

As a big fan of the first four books in the Uglies series, I was not disappointed by Imposters in the least. My only frustration is that I'm left hanging on a cliff. I will definitely be checking out the next one. For anyone who liked this, the Zeros series is also a good read.

Gripping!

So many twists and turns! I can't wait for the next one and I finished this one far too quickly! I just could NOT stop listening!

Great Spinoff

reading the OG Uglies series definitely helps understand the world... but this book seems to hold its own just as well as Uglies. great narrator as well.

I love that there is a sequel series to the Ugly’s saga!

This was amazing, loved the reader and the story! (There’s nothing worse than listening to an audiobook with a reader that constantly makes you cringe!) (ok, there can be worse things, stop being a bubble head and pick up on my sarcasm lol)

AMAZING

I LOVED THIS! Amazing story.. I enjoyed it even more than the original Uglies series. The narrator was fantastic, and really added a lot of value to the listener experience. I really admired how her vocal tone varied throughout the story evoking the emotion of each character. it was absolutely spectacular and I cannot wait for book two!

The best book I've bought since Extras!

Scott Westerfield out did himself again! If you loved the world of his Uglies series, but want more action, espionage, and characters to fall in love with, this book is for you! Its read time is a bit shorter than the more average 10 hour audiobooks coming out, but Scott more than makes up for it with sheer quality of writing. He leaves no fluff at all on any page!

Scott factory

Scott has a factory of good books, and this is premium stuff, one of my all time favorite series

Introspective and Imaginative

I have long been a fan of Scott Westerfeld's writing. I love a good afternoon length book. His work is always equally fast paced and thought provoking. I've been excited to read this title since he started promoting it on social media.

It can be a struggle to find books with fully dimensional female characters, and I really loved the way the protagonist introspects throughout the story. She is interesting and relatable, and she has normal human flaws. I love the moments where she agonizes over people's reactions to something, only to have it be no big deal. It's also really refreshing to see a nonbinary character. Representation is important, especially in YA!

The narrator has a pleasant voice and does good voices for each character. Her French pronunciation was so bad that I could not understand her, luckily the protagonist also doesn't speak French so it doesn't take away from the story. There is also a moment where she completely botches the pronunciation of the word archipelago. 4/5

I went into it assuming it was going to be a standalone like Extras. I was, therefore, not expecting the abrupt ending. I eagerly await the next book. 5/5
