About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable, audiobook edition of Half Lost by Sally Green, read by Carl Prekopp.

Nathan Byrn is running again. The Alliance of Free Witches has been all but destroyed. Scattered and demoralized, constantly pursued by the Council's Hunters, only a bold new strategy can save the rebels from total defeat. They need the missing half of Gabriel's amulet - an ancient artefact with the power to render its bearer invincible in battle.

But the amulet's guardian - the reclusive and awesomely powerful witch Ledger - has her own agenda. To win her trust, Nathan must travel to America and persuade her to give him the amulet. Combined with his own Gifts, the amulet might just be enough to turn the tide for the Alliance and end the bloody civil war between Black and White witches once and for all...

Critic reviews

A book about witches with no owls and not a pair of round spectacles in sight. The new Hunger Games,I suspect... Brilliant and utterly compelling - I loved it.
Teens rejoice: the inheritor to Stephenie Meyer's crown has arrived.
Edgy, arresting and brilliantly written, Half Bad grips you from the first page and doesn't let go.
A brilliant debut that is both deeply unique and unsettling, one that chilled me to the bone and broke my heart even as I sped through its pages. This will haunt you.
Take our word for it, this book is going to be huge.
Brilliantly paced with more than a few nasty surprises, Half Bad is a wickedly addictive read that will capture the imagination of any fan of YA fiction.
Not since the Harry Potter books - yes, I said it! - have I felt so fully immersed in an author's creation... I couldn't be more stoked over Half Bad, and this launch novel of a trilogy truly deserves all the hype surrounding it - and much more...

Carl Prekopp's narration is superb - and certainly gave extra weight and feeling to the events in the end - which I had feared were coming, but hoped against hope were not. Enjoyed hugely and highly recommended (unless you didn't enjoy the previous books in the series).

A real rollercoaster finale to the trilogy

this ends the trilogy wonderfully. A bitter sweet finish. but the pace towards it was funominal. characters we have met come into their fullest life and new characters push the narrative on. brilliant.

full hearted end.

I have listened to all three of the books and have enjoyed every single word. Every chapter was wonderful and turns and twists to keep you guessing. Narration is beautiful and kept the story real, and so so moving.......can only hope there is more

an ending

I really enjoyed this YA witches at war trilogy. It's pretty downbeat and it is soon apparent that any kind of moral absolute, bright and shiny happy ending will not fit with what has gone before. I find Nathan almost unbearably sad as he finds out who he is and of what he is capable mainly through pain and violence although there are some redeeming episodes of love - his relationship with Gabriel, and with Arran. It's pretty violent throughout but the violence generally reveals character and moves the story along. I reallly like the inclusion of characters like Celia who began as Nathan's captor in Half Bad but who evolves throughout the trilogy.

Carl Prekopp is great as ever. He's good at believable teenagers which, going by some other narrators, is harder than you'd think.

Give it a go.
