About this listen

‘Hey, you. Yes, you. Put this grimy, beautiful, devastating, hilarious, screaming, writhing, all-out post-apocalyptic girl-buddy-road-warrior-lost princess-techno-thriller in your face and read it right now. It is every kind of badass’ – Laini Taylor, NYT bestselling author of STRANGE THE DREAMER and the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy

A thrilling new series from Jay Kristoff, internationally best-selling author of The Nevernight Chronicle and The Illuminae Files.

It’s just another day on the Scrap: lose the last of your credits at the WarDome, dodge the gangs and religious fanatics, discover you can destroy electronics with your mind, stumble upon the deadliest robot ever built…

When Eve finds the ruins of an android boy named Ezekiel in the scrap pile she calls home, her entire world comes crashing down. With her best friend and her robotic sidekick in tow, she and Ezekiel will trek across deserts of irradiated glass, battle cyborg assassins, and scour abandoned megacities to save the ones she loves…and learn the dark secrets of her past.

Critic reviews

‘Kristoff's vivid world of grit, metal, and technology evokes all the senses, and his characters every emotion. This is a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means’
Marie Lu, #1 NYT Bestselling Author of WARCROSS and THE YOUNG ELITES

‘Fierce friendships, brutal heartbreak, and the question of what makes us who we are–in the midst of a seriously awesome and terrifying post-apocalyptic world–make LIFEL1K3 your next favorite book. Trust me’
Kiersten White, NYT Bestselling Author of AND I DARKEN

‘I'd like to live in the vivid and raw world of LIFEL1K3, if only I wasn't certain it would kill me. Jay Kristoff delivers an utterly unique and entirely brilliant story with his signature punch-to-the-gut writing that will leave you bruised but longing for more’
Beth Revis, NYT bestselling author of STAR WARS: REBEL RISING and the Across the Universe trilogy

I was feeling in the mood for a new sci-fi Jay Kristoff and here I am, very happy about my decision!
Someone on here complained that the characters can't have one conversation without getting into a physical fight.
That's not untrue.
But I also have to say: I'm not hating it!

you read/saw Alita and thought it seemed too simple..too short, too thin...nearly 2 dimensional.

I honestly didn't expect to like this as much as I did. (I seem to hate hyped books almost on principle) But I actually really enjoyed it. It's different from the other of this authors books I've read but not so much that I don't know for a true cert that it's a Jay work, y'know?

The made up slang and stuff was a bit cringy in places, but other than that, I actually can't wait for the next one.

Surprisingly good

Don’t have much expectation coming into this book but liked the premise and it lived up to that. The performance was great, bringing character to each of the protagonists and the story hummed along with action and intrigue. I did guess the twists but then I’ve read too many books at this point not to but they were still well actioned. Didn’t realise it was part of a trilogy and I’ll probably get the next one now.

Good, twisty, SciFi tale

Well written to be fair but not for me. Too cheesy.
