I never wanted to join the Queen Trials. But I’m not a victim and never have been. When a peacekeeper attacks me in a mine shaft, I fight back and win. Sort of. Because I made a mistake. I let him live. He knows my name. He’ll come after me, and he’ll kill the only person I love: my sweet, clueless brother Shellor. Nobody escapes from Locality Fourteen. There was only one way out that would protect us both: Enter the Queen Trials and become a star. Now, I’m plunged into a competition with dozens of gorgeous women from all over the kingdom.

Publisher's summary
He could live forever. But is he willing to pay the price?
It's 2099, and the former United States of America is in the midst of another civil war. In the wake of a revolutionary technology that grants people a second chance at life, an impenetrable wall divides the prosperous nation of Zion from the slums of MiddleLand. Stuck inside the wall and desperate to reunite with his fiancée, contraband smuggler Asher is hell-bent on finding a way out.
When his uncle offers him a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Asher is faced with an impossible task: impersonate a talented Zion soldier and risk his life in the Canonization, a brutal gladiator duel against a champion who never loses. But defeating an unbeatable opponent and reuniting with his one true love is only the beginning. Asher thought the second life policy was outlawed. But the truth is far more sinister, and he soon finds himself caught up in the middle of a terrifying rebellion that will decide the fate of both sides of the Wall.
As an explosive and futuristic sci-fi adventure that artfully weaves together high-octane action and heart-stopping romance, The Wall presents an unforgettable YA dystopia that's perfect for fans of Divergent, The Hunger Games, and Dune.

The Empire rules with an iron fist. The Valeroot elves have barely managed to survive, but at least they’re not Arthali witches like Elmerah. Her people were exiled long ago. Just a child at the time, her only choice was to flee her homeland, or remain among those who’d betrayed their own kind. She was resigned to living out her solitary life in a swamp until pirates kidnap her and throw her in with their other captives, young women destined to be sold into slavery.

Great Christian Friendly Adventure!
This book is unique in its genre, as many Christian sci-fi books hide their Christian content below allegory and innuendo, this book weaves it through the entirety with a character-level interaction with the faith. It has a unique sci-fi twist on American dystopia and falls in line with other mainstream fiction like Hunger, Games, Divergent, Ready Player One, and others, some very mild profanity is balanced by a very strong Christian theme. Way to go, Brian! Keep up the good work.

Captivating Read
I loved this book. All the characters were relatable and nicely fleshed out. The story kept me wanting to go on and I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next! I enjoyed the Christian aspects sprinkled into the story line. It was well done and added to the story to make it more captivating. The performance of the voice actor was also well done and added to the enjoyment.

An enjoyable read
A good read. Presents an interesting dystopian world though the villains are a bit over the top and irritating at points. The hero is capable but not too perfect.

A great listen for a roadtrip with your teens!
This audiobook held our attention for hours on end. Great narration by Luke Welland he really acted out all the emotion and intensity while telling the story wonderfully! Brian Penn did a nice job of creating this vivid world, a dark future, a desolate and divided America filled with rough-looking, hopeful characters you could picture. Would make for a great movie someday, and we're already looking forward to the sequel!

I can’t wait for the next book!
There were so many twists and turns! And the ending was far from what I expected. It’s so hard to find books that give that much excitement but without all the sex and crude language you find in so many of today’s books. I am very excited to see what the author has in store for his next book.

A Captivating Dystopian Tale
4.25 out of 5 stars
The Wall is a captivating dystopian tale that pulls you in from the start. Penn wastes no time with excessive backstory, immersing you in the here and now which shocked me. I wasn’t sure what to think at the start but I guess all you needed to know about was The Wall, one side “has it all” and one side was the dumping grounds. Everything else can be picked up as it goes.
The concept of The Wall felt familiar to me but I couldn’t quite place it. As the story progressed, I realized it had a combination of The Hunger Games and 1984, two classics. And where it branches out was an interesting idea that brought to mind the movie The Island, one of my favorites – so it’s in incredibly good company in my eyes.
Welland’s narration is a standout, striking the perfect balance between performance and storytelling. His ability to convey emotions adds a layer of depth to the characters and the plot, keeping me hooked from start to finish.
One aspect that may divide listeners is the increasing focus on religion (specifically God, The Bible, and prayer) as the story unfolds. To each their own here – but I started to get that “okay this is a bit much” feel for me. I don’t want to take away from the author, character, or readers’ beliefs – so I want to make sure and say that this could be just a “me issue” – so don’t base my review on that alone. I did not take away or add any stars because of this.
Overall, The Wall is a gripping listen that will leave you thinking long after the final chapter. Which is great because this is apparently the first book in a trilogy!? I didn’t realize that going into it and it has a full arc to it (kudos for no cliffhanger). I have an idea of where the series will go and I’m intrigued to see if I’m right.
Penn’s storytelling, coupled with Welland’s narration, makes this audiobook a standout in the dystopian genre.
