About this listen

The second audiobook in the heart-stopping The Darkest Minds trilogy, by the bestselling author of Lore.

They call her the Leader. Their saviour and only hope. Only Ruby knows what she really is - a monster, capable of destroying them all.

Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her life. Now she must call upon them to bring down a corrupt government in a world where children have been eliminated. When she is entrusted with an explosive secret, she embarks on her deadliest journey yet: leaving the Children's League to track down Liam Stewart, the boy who carries the truth about the disease that threw the world into chaos. The boy she once loved and hoped never to see again...

I've not got 15 words to say about this book ... excellent, exciting, brilliant, great story line bravo....

listened to this in a day, couldn't turn it off.

Some good twists and turns throughout mixed with a few obvious but attesting events. Really held my interest in finding out what happens to the characters. After reading the first two books I could not imagine not continuing the journey with the characters that you become surprisingly invested in.

Good character development and performance.

The narrative, while compelling, could benefit from streamlining. Specifically, the frequency of self-destructive elements and flashbacks might be reduced to enhance pacing. Too many self-esteem and self-loathing elements. Furthermore, the inclusion of detailed descriptions of ancillary characters and locations, which do not significantly contribute to the plot, could be reconsidered to maintain narrative focus. Finally, the accuracy of certain character and feelings portrayals warrants review. Too many cases of use of similes.

great story, BUT

I'd say the plot doesn't quite match the first, yes still amazingly written/ presented

Exhilarating story
