Explosive action and swoon-worthy suspense collide in Steelstriker, the riveting conclusion to Marie Lu’s instant New York Times bestseller Skyhunter.

The world’s last free nation has fallen. And behind enemy lines, Talin stands alone.

With her friends scattered by combat and her mother held captive, Talin has no choice but to submit to the Federation’s experiments and become their most deadly war machine—a Skyhunter.

But Red hasn’t given up on Talin. Though the link between them is weak, it could be enough. To find their way back to each other. To reunite the Strikers. To fight back against the Federation, against all odds, against all hope.

Because the battle has only just begun.

took forever to get through

The story as a whole was good, but the execution was less than satisfying. Its a story about elite warrior and how they try to take down the evil empire. The writing makes the elite warriors out to be teenagers in love and emotional cry babies. Thats why I only could take 20-40 minutes at a time, before I got frustrated at the author for making the well trained and experience fighters into children. I stuck with the book because the concept and overall storyline was good, Just not realistic for elite warriors.

Enjoyable characters and action.

I enjoyed the story and have enjoyed spending time with these characters. The male voice actor was the wrong fit and in my opinion a bad decision. It was annoying having the voices shift. I wanted to hear the end of this story so I kept listening and am glad for it.

Great if you read the 1st book. Good performance.

Great if you read the 1st book. Good performance. Probably best to read the 1st book before this one.
it's not quite as interesting as the first book, but still enjoyable.

Male narrator frustrated me

I loved the female narrarator (Natalie) but I feel the male narrators (Raymond) parts with the exception of Red were way off base. It was severely distracting every time he spoke as another character. Other that that I was happy with the story. I'd give her 5 star on performance and him a 1.

good

this was amazing. I love the story and the world building. I want more but I read both books already
