Ratings and reviews

I thought the series was excellent! It would make an interesting movie. There's plenty of elements that are clearly copycat from other sci-fi writers but because they're subtle we can give the author a mulligan. I enjoyed all four books but I was very, very disappointed that they used the same narrator for the first three and a different narrator for the fourth book. I had become so accustomed to the character voice interpretation in the first three that it was extremely maddening to have new voices in the final book ( the one that was the most expensive). Ruined the experience for me and left me with my only negative feedback.

Good, safe read for teens. There are parts that could've been written better or maybe researched a bit better, so they made more sense. But all in all, a good read. I bought the sequels, so that should tell you it's worth it.

Well I can now fully appreciate why this audio book was free, the author self published and the subsequent two books in the trilogy cost only a couple of quid. A truly ridiculous and unbelievable story, poorly written and badly narrated. I wouldn't normally go out of my way to write a review, especially a bad one. After all, we all need to make a living. Put simply, that's five hours of my life I won't get back. I only continued to listen so I could find out just how badly this story would end, otherwise I would have ditched it after just a few chapters. This book made me cringe and laugh out loud but for all the wrong reasons. Sorry Morgan Rice, but this will be the first and only title of your"works" I will ever read. Also, I can't help but think that if all of these five star ratings are legitimate, these people seriously need to read more books....
