The Map of Bones

By: Francesca Haig

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang

Book two in the critically acclaimed The Fire Sermon trilogy - The Hunger Games meets Cormac McCarthy's The Road in this richly imagined postapocalyptic series by award-winning poet Francesca Haig.

Four hundred years in the future, the Earth has turned primitive following a nuclear fire that has laid waste to civilization and nature. Though the radiation fallout has ended, for some unknowable reason every person is born with a twin. Of each pair, one is an Alpha, physically perfect in every way, and the other an Omega, burdened with deformity, small or large. With the Council ruling an apartheid-like society, Omegas are branded and ostracized while the Alphas have gathered the world's sparse resources for themselves. Though proclaiming their superiority, for all their effort, Alphas cannot escape one harsh fact: Whenever one twin dies, so does the other.

Cass is a rare Omega, one burdened with psychic foresight. While her twin, Zach, gains power on the Alpha Council, she dares to dream the most dangerous dream of all: equality. For daring to envision a world in which Alphas and Omegas live side by side as equals, both the Council and the Resistance have her in their sights.

Interesting story

This book has an interesting plot. The narrator did an amazing job with the voices of each character making the book enjoyable to hear the story unfold. Great summer read.

suspenseful read

still sad about what happened to kip... but the read kept me on the edge of my seat a d had me going on to every chapter... look forward to the next book

Great story, crummy voices

The story is compelling and really well written. The narrator is pleasant to listen to...until she does men’s voices. Good lord. It’s awful. It’s distracting enough to make me not want to keep listening.

Good but lagged a bit

I wanted to enjoy this the way I did the first book of the series but there were too many drawn out situations. I often found myself wanting to speed through portions because they were boring or didn't add to the story. I was disappointed with the overall lack of direction and the lack of depth in the main character. I was satisfied with the ending but had to wade through so much fluff throughout the novel I was almost not worth the reward at the end. I really hope the final book in this trilogy recaptures the excitement, interest, and love I had for the first book.

when is the next book coming out!?

I fell in love with the first book and was so relieved that the map of bones was released so quickly after i finished the fire sermon. when is the next book coming out!??!
