About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Midnight Star by Marie Lu, read by Lannon Killea and Carla Corvo.

There was once a time when darkness shrouded the world, and the darkness had a queen.

Adelina Amouteru is done suffering. She's turned her back on those who have betrayed her and achieved the ultimate revenge: victory. Her reign as the White Wolf has been a triumphant one, but the darkness within her has begun to spiral out of control, threatening to destroy everything.

When a new danger appears, Adelina must join the Daggers on a perilous quest in order to save herself and preserve her empire. But this uneasy alliance may prove to be the real danger . . .

Entranced by the storyline, ending is very disappointing. Would recommend the first book, not others

Weak ending

I was recommended this trilogy by a friend’s daughter. Firstly, I am way too old to be in the target audience of teenagers. Normally I love teenage fiction, fast moving plots with less, often unnecessary, descriptive prose, but these books needed severe editing. If the three had been condensed into one good book I think it could have been a five star rating all the way. Honestly, it was just boring. Adelina is a very unpleasant “heroine”. I only continued because the final chapter in book one caught my imagination.

I would most definitely not recommend these books to anyone over 16, (who wouldn’t be reading this review anyway). I think the appeal would only be for teenage girls looking to identify themselves with an outcast, misunderstood and unloved.

I gave the performance 4 stars just because I think it was fine, IF you’re American. For me it was too American, too breathless, the accents on sentences completely wrong. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more in “English”.

I won’t be returning these books and asking for my credits back (which I know I can) because I did choose to finish the series, but believe me, it’s crossed my mind, it just doesn’t seem fair to Audible.

Dont know why I wasted three credits on this.
