About this listen

Some say there's not much in Haven City left to fight for, but to the Resistance and the Assassin's Guild, the war is far from over.

In a future world, the skyscrapers of Haven City have crumbled and the government of today is no more. Death lurks around every corner and tomorrow is not promised. The Resistance and the Assassin’s Guild fight for control of the city, but after decades of a silent war, no one expects victory.

In this lawless city, enemies are abundant, but three people are feared above all: the Charger, Black Death, and the mysterious assassin called Silent Night.

Silent Night has spent her whole life clawing her way to the top of the assassin list and has reached second place at the age of 18. She is days away from becoming Agent One when the tables are turned and a horrible truth is revealed.

The next day, Silent Night seeks out the Resistance, to aid in the destruction of the Assassin’s Guild.

Silent Night expects hatred and mistrust from her former enemies, but one boy will surprise her and that boy might just be the end of her.

Silent Night is book 1 of The Guild Trilogy by Emma Couette. Set in a dystopian landscape it's the story of a young woman who has spent the whole of her young life striving to be the best, to be the number 1 assassin in the war against the Resistance until she realizes she's been lied to and deceived. I feel this story is well written for the young adult book reader / demographic. There is action, adventure, the budding of new friendships with a found family feel, tension, uncovered secrets and an ending that will leave you wanting more.

Overall an enjoyable book and storyline. I will finish off the series in time since I just need to know what happens next.

Lee Funnell as the narrator does a really good job with youthfulness of the characters. There are quite a few characters in the book and for a solo narration this can potentially be challenging. I would have liked to hear just a bit more range in voices/tones just to make some of the characters a little more distinct. Otherwise the book is easy listening and I'm glad to have experienced it.
