About this listen

In a future where humans are enhanced to ensure the survival of society Akaego fights to prevent her power to grow plants from being weaponised by a corrupt regime.

I was going to be a Mechsim. I was going to use my powers to make a difference.

In a near future London, where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must surgically augment an ability to contribute to the new utopian society. Akaego moves to a prestigious academy after the late discovery of her rare ability - she can project a vocal frequency that accelerates plant growth.

As Akaego learns to use her new skill and is chosen for an internship with the mayor she begins to feel like she can change society for the better . . . and it doesn't hurt that the mayor's gorgeous son, Joon, seems to be flirting with her. But then the Freestakers, an anti-enhancement group, warn Akaego not to get Augmented.

Can she discover the truth of her ability, find the courage to rebel and keep her power out of the hands of those wishing to control it?

I thought it ok, it took a long time to get going, I would have liked more action or something to liven it up a bit.

Was ok

I’ve never read anything quite like it! And I liked it greatly! Though the world they lived in were quite dark, the book itself felt hopeful!

Innovative post apocalyptic sci-fi

The main two characters apart from the protagonist had very similar name so it was often confusing as to which one was which.

Read the book which I loved so I just had to listen to the characters being brought to life in audio. Didn’t disappoint! It’s a great story which is so relevant today. Nice to see diverse characters as leads in sci-fi which is so rare. Can’t wait to see this on the big screen!

Loved it!

This was an excellent story that despite being quite a dark dystopian tale was still full of hope and laughter. Wonderfully performed and the character voices were done wonderfully

Wonderful story
