Interesting story line and plot but lacking end goal
This main character is so fustrating to follow. Its easy to gain sympathy for her situation as a slave basically but somethings dont add up. In the first book when she sees a pregant surrogant she thinks “I have no idea what its like to be pregnant” isnt that what you were in the holding facility to learn? No wonder their system of slavery doesnt work if they still allow indivialism and idealism as they are growng up. And this charcter is very much human. She repeats the same mistakes which is so fustrating because she doesnt think about what the consequences will be. And each time the consequence is that someone she loves dies. She doesnt realize that she is making the same mistakes either.
Other than weilding a lot more power than any of the other girls she doesnt show much leadership qualities. She acts very young and reckless and really doesnt even know what she is fighting for. Yes bring down the tyrants but then what? It was only mentioned once what would happen after. And Luciene was the real main leader, who she chose not to even try to save. Its important to remember to keep in mind that she is only a tool, a solider in this army. Definetly not the brains behind it.
The narrator does a good job of speaking clearly and pronounciation. Sometimes character voices get mixed up though and I wish there was more differences in speach. The narrator could do different paces of fast and slow because right now everyone speaks at the same slow pace. Otherwise she has a pleasant voice to listen to and makes it easy to follow along.
