Hero by Belinda Crawford
5.0
That was... wow.
Hero is the story of a special girl who spends all her days being kept inside and monitored all day long when all she wants is to be normal and spend her life as a normal teenaged girl, with her pet hybrid-rat creature who can read her mind.
Sadly, she will never get to be normal, because she's had a destiny assigned to her by a geneticist about 300 years before.
I really enjoyed this audiobook. The narrator is superb and the world is unique and futuristic. Chalk it up to the fact that I don't read sci-fi much, but I cannot recall ever reading about a world quite like Jørn. Belinda has an inventive imagination and the world she created blooms in the narration.
Word to the wise, if you're the type of person who puts on audiobooks in the background while doing chores, you may have a bit of an issue with this one. There is so much information packed into the book you have to pay close attention to not miss anything.
