Youngbloods (Impostors Series #4)

by Scott Westerfeld Narrated by Thérèse Plummer

Overview

IT'S TIME TO

COME OUT OF HIDING

Frey has spent her life in a family of deceivers, a stand-in for her sister, manipulated at her father's command. Free from them at last, she is finding her own voice -- and using it to question everything her family stood for.

Tally was once the most famous rebel in the world. But for over a decade, she's kept to the shadows, allowing her myth to grow even as she receded. Now she sees that the revolution she led has not created a stable world. Freedom, she observes, has a way of destroying things.

As the world is propelled further into conflict and conspiracy, Frey and Tally join forces to put a check on the people in power, while still trying to understand their own power and where it belongs.

With Youngbloods, master storyteller Scott Westerfeld decisively brings back his most iconic character and merges his Impostors and Uglies series into a breathtaking tale of rivalry, rebellion, and repercussion.

MARCH 2022 - AudioFile

Therese Plummer returns to narrate the final installment of this dystopian series, part of Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies tetralogy. The pace of this audiobook is breakneck, and each chapter ends with a cliff-hanger. Plummer's narration is relentless. She never falters. Her breathless delivery compels listeners to keep going even when some of the action is terrifying or slightly gruesome. She embodies characters so well and slips in and out of voices so seamlessly and with such perfect timing that one could swear one is listening to actual conversations. Plummer shines brightest when she digs deeply into the emotional trauma of the main character. Listeners will laugh, cry, and cheer as they binge on this epic conclusion. A.R.F.
