Summary
In a world divided between those who are talented and those who aren't, Vici is a city governed by an egotistical Praetor driven by his hatred for the gifted individuals - the Tallents - who he considers a plague. Tallents are forced into the shadows, for fear that they will be caught and executed.
An explosion rocks the city to its very foundation; the sole survivor a young woman with no memories of her past. Her only tie to her previous life is a silver necklace with the name Asylia inscribed. Risen from the ashes, she pieces herself together while taking control of her emerging fire talent. She must be careful; one mistake and she will end up like all the other Tallents who have faced the Praetor's wrath.
Harbored by a mysterious group called Revival, the young woman discovers that the people of Vici are disappearing at an alarming rate. Together with her new friends, she must rally against the Praetor's tyranny, racing to free the city in hopes that she isn't too late to bring peace to this world in turmoil.

Young adult dark fantasy, with wide eyed innocence
The author: Congratulations to A.J Wharton. Her first audiobook. See Audibles author description (they do it much better than me :D)
The feel.
See the books blurb for what the story is about, but as some additional opinion..
It is nice to see a book that is so modern in it writing, with many of the tired stereotypes of older fantasy completely absent and modern ideals touched upon such as freedom of sexuality, mild same gender love, androgyny and including strong (but still quite feminine and full of young mischief) lead female characters, whilst not detracting from the male characters.
Described as a ‘young adult dark fantasy’, the story is of course also suitable for anyone else who likes simple tales of good and bad, without too deep a plot or useless masses of archaic and complicated wording. The story has a ‘wide eyed innocent’ kind of feel to it.
The flavour.
I got a little bit of the flavours of Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Junior X-men and ‘Harry Potter’ from the story and from the innocence of the characters. FYI though, there are a few scenes not suitable for children.
Also, the story and the lead character for most of the book has a taste of ‘Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz’ where female leads were innocent and trying to work out strange new worlds.
Triggers.If you worry about triggers, there are one or two.
The Narrator.
Melody Muzljakovich is very talented and has a naturally beautiful voice. She gives the main character a soft and other-worldly voice that fits the characters innocence. Other characters are portrayed in an array of accents and tones and really done very well, which makes the characters more alive. A great voice actor.
