About this listen

Jeff Hirsch, the mastermind behind such dark YA dystopias as The Eleventh Plague and The Darkest Hour, goes interstellar with Sovereign, a middle grade Audible Original voiced by Jesse Einstein, who listeners have called first-rate.

Micah Cole has been in deep space for four years now. While his parents chase their obsession with finding intelligent life deeper and deeper into the universe, Micah can’t help but dream of the friends he’s left behind and counts the days until the family returns to Earth. When a devastating meteor shower nearly destroys the Coles’s ship, Micah is separated from his family and stranded alone on Sovereign—a vast planet of raging rivers and towering forests. If Micah ever wants to see his family or his home again, he’ll have to learn how to survive on this hostile alien world. Armed with only his wits and determination, he’ll have to battle the elements, his own deepest fears, and a strange presence that might just hold the key to his parents’ obsession—and be his ticket back home.

Profile Image for Kate

be prepared for similes like you wouldn' believe!

we counted an averaged of 6 to 15 similies per chapter, added to the slow pace and the copious reuse of adjectives (throbbed, muck, darkness, dirty, noodle arms, remaining strength etc) it kinda got boring.

on top of that some things just didn't logically make any sense. in some cases things were under described (like why his mum wouldnt let him stay on the ship) and others (like drawing a knife) were wayyy over detailed.

ps. i almost never write text for my audible reviews. this one was "special" enough for me to put in the effort.
