The Nothing Within

By: Andy Giesler

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith

In this "magical, terrifying, and whimsical debut" (Publishers Weekly starred review), a biological disaster reverberates in Ohio Amish country long after the near-extinction of humankind. A young woman must try to save what remains of the human race.

A "mesmerizing end-of-the-world adventure" (Kirkus Reviews) that is "nothing short of a storytelling masterwork"(BlueInk Review in Booklist).

Root is...different. Though raised in a fearful society that reveres conformity, she's irreverent, outspoken, and deeply curious. Her congenital blindness sets her even further apart.

Centuries after the Reckoning, a biotech disaster, savage chimeras still threaten human survival. When Root hears a voice that no one else can hear, she flees into the wilderness. Outcast and hunted, she must confront a dire threat to her people - and unravel the mystery of who she really is.

Disjointed, non-linear. Couldn't finish.

Storytelling style was so disjointed and non-linear that I couldn't finish listening. The Narrator was fantastic! Wasn't her fault this book isn't suited to audiobook format.

Captivating

It starts out a bit confusing, but once you get into it, it’s so good. It’s so cool to see things come together at the end. I don’t usually think about rereads, but this one would be a fun reread

boring. too different. i love Emily Sutton Smith
