Above World, Book 3

By: Jenn Reese

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

In this third and final adventure in the Above World series, Aluna and her friends finally face their most terrifying enemy, Karl Strand. Aluna and Hoku, Kampii from the City of Shifting Tides, and their friends Equian Dash and winged Aviar Calli, are determined to stop a war. The maniacal ex-scientist Karl Strand is planning to conquer the world with his enormous army of tech-enhanced soldiers...unless the four friends can get to Strand first. Aluna’s plan is dangerous: pose as Upgraders and infiltrate the army.

But the enemy isn’t what they expected and the strategy begins to crumble. When the friends are torn apart by conflicting allegiances, their slim chance of avoiding war seems to disappear completely. For Aluna and Hoku, what began as a quest to save their own people has become a mission to save the world. But do Aluna and her friends have any hope of defeating Strand if they can’t take him on together?

Stunning

Reese can easily bring the world of Aluna to life . A must read. 11/10

A wonderful conclusion

I actually bought this audiobook because I couldn't wait for the county library system to send the book to my local branch. Then, the narrator did such a great job that I used my next month's credits to buy the previous two books too!

What happened to narration?

I can only describe this performance as largo - narrative hesitatingly slow and many times overdone/over performed. It was very difficult to listen to.
