This is a great first in series laying the groundwork for the series. There are more questions than answers in this book and you must continue to the next book to get any answers. The story help my attention but I wish we were given some answers in this first installment. The characters are somewhat flat but I have hopes they grow as the story continues. The narrator did a superb job at bringing the story and characters to life and I would not hesitate to listen to other books narrated by her. I look forward to book 2 which will hopefully offer some answers to all of the questions I have.
