    About this audiobook

    Deception. Risk. Betrayal. Redemption. Master storyteller Scott Westerfeld is at the top of his game, and back to his most famous realm. A New York Times bestseller.

    Frey and Rafi are inseparable . . . two edges of the same knife. But only one of them is ever seen in public.

    Frey is Rafi's twin sister-and her body double. Their powerful father has many enemies, and the world has grown dangerous as the old order falls apart. So while Rafi was raised to be the perfect daughter, Frey has been taught to kill. Her only purpose is to protect her sister, to sacrifice herself for Rafi if she must.

    When her father sends Frey in Rafi's place as collateral in a precarious deal, she becomes the perfect impostor. But Col, the son of a rival leader, is getting close enough to spot the killer inside her . . . .

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a continuation of the world built in the Uglies series. They love Scott Westerfeld's writing style and constantly reread his books. Some readers are disappointed with missing audio in the audiobook. Overall, the book is considered good and enjoyable, with a relatively typical YA dystopian plot and some repetitive elements. It keeps readers engaged and wanting to continue the series.

      Another real good book from Westerfeld! I really enjoyed going back to the world of "Pretties" and seeing how it had changed!

      Pretty decent book, makes me want to rather read Uglies and Pretties again (and skip Specials and the horror that was Extras). Relatively cookie cutter YA dystopian novel with rebel uprising, being the chosen one and falling in love thrown in. I got bored of Frey saying “that is what I am born to do” half a hundred times. She is dull in my opinion, but so much less annoying than her sister Rafi. I am going to continue the series for sure but won’t be re-reding it. 3,5 stars.

      SO HAPPY MAKING. I love this world I’m living in while listening to these stories. Well done!! Keep going please!!
    • 2/5
      Not a fan. For a story all about Fray finding her own identity and making her own story, she sure is a bystander for wayyy too long. She goes from Raif’s imposter to Cole’s love interest to Cole’s second in command of sorts, then back to Raif’s secret sister. At no point does it really feel like Fray has taken the reins and started making her own decisions.
      A lot of the other characters were either too underdeveloped or had barely any read time to formulate an opinion on.
      And finally, that vocabulary choices in this book are honestly just cringe worthy. I’m sorry, me calling someone else “brain-missing” is supposed to be an insult to them? There’s little to no tense scenes that made me feel “stomach-missing,” and the vocabulary was frankly “sick-making.” What the hell are these words, why would anyone talk like that.
      Overall, i will not be reading the second

      Loved the continuation of the world built in the Uglies series...can’t wait to listen to the next one!
    • 5/5
      It kept my attention from page one and has me searching for the next book now!
    • 4/5
      I love Scott westerfeld books. His writing style just keeps me wanting more. I reread his books constantly and this one is just the same. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that there are spots in the audiobook that there is no sound so I miss stuff.
