Terrible, implausible, irritating, shallow characters and anti women. I love a gory crime story but this was truly awful. Stopped after a couple of hours listening.

I enjoy crime literature, like serial killer stuff, like a strong female lead. Everything here that should have come together but somehow didn't. Kept me mildly engaged until about an hour from the end, but huge disappointment in twist. I did 2 for 1 so have 2nd book in series. Not sure I'll bother.

Loved it, good story, strong female lead, smacks of Ilona Andrews style, I'm straight on to the next one. Hurrah!!

Had high expectations from other reviews and it's extremely rare I give up on a book but no, this one I struggled to finish, too many characters not grabbed by any of them, gave up in the end. Liked the narrator but for me the story had too many starts, too many characters introduced without development so I got confused and had zero interest in the end.

Loved this, runs alongside the Girl with all the Gifts but the story converges ultimately. Love this intelligent apocalypse tale. Great stuff, more more....

This is the 2nd book, loved it and feel emotionally scarred by some utterly gruesome bits but it's all part of the story. He weaves the plot in an intricate pattern that's fast paced and unpredictable. Intelligent fantasy, totally recommend. Great narrator too.

Captured me from start to finish and hungry for more. An intricate tale which weaves in the story of the planet and people without lengthy explanations. Exciting, intelligent, enthralling, political machinations and assassins all told through the eyes of a girl as she trains to be a red sister. To quote the book, She lives to hear the screams of her enemies. Also tremendous narrator. Loved it and want to hear more.

Any additional comments?

Gripping and spooky story, interesting background of young men between the wars. Totally scared me in parts especially one night driving home late down country roads while listening to some scarier chapters. I felt somewhat let down by the ending though, something didn't quite hang together and felt a bit rushed, really good story for the most part, great narration and delivery of the characters.
