About this listen

What if every choice you ever made had the power to reshape reality?

Joni, the daughter of World Walker Seb Varden, has never met her father. And the world he left behind has become a dangerous place for the last generation of Manna users. Mee and John insist Seb will return, but what if they're wrong?

Could it be possible she has none of Seb Varden's powers? Or might her abilities reveal themselves as she leaves childhood behind? In her 17th year, Joni will be forced to leave those she loves, face a great evil, and finally learn the truth about her father.

It's been a while since I read the first 2 "World Walker" books. However, when I picked this up I found myself slipping right back into this amazing world. About to start book 4 now.

Great

Although the accents of the narration are sometimes distracting, overall the narrator does a good job.
The story is more violent than the previous books, as noted by other reviews, but not unnecessary, in context.
I felt there were some holes and flaws in the plot, but enjoyed it as an interesting diversion in the worldwalker series.

An interesting chapter in the series

Definitely the best book in the series so far. I really enjoyed this listen. Just be aware that this book is a lot more graphically violent than the first two. I listen to it while I'm walking my dog and the faces and grimaces I must pull while walking him listening to this must be a picture! Looking forward to the next book!

A gory but exciting next chapter

The Seventeenth year is an unusual mix of fantasy, science fiction, cutting but not silly humour, with a consistent thread of edge of the seat drama.
Very well narrated. At times I found myself shouting at the car (I listen whilst driving) "No! Don't let that happen!" .... You will know what I mean when you listen/read. Totally addictive.
Ideal if you have read/listened to the previous two books.

Addictive listening
