About this listen

In a world beset by amassing forces of darkness, one organization - the Regional Office - and its coterie of superpowered female assassins protects the globe from annihilation. At its helm, the mysterious Oyemi and her oracles seek out new recruits and root out evil plots. Then a prophecy suggests that someone from inside might bring about its downfall. And now the Regional Office is under attack.

Recruited by a defector from within, Rose is a young assassin leading the attack, eager to stretch into her powers and prove herself on her first mission. Defending the Regional Office is Sarah, who may or may not have a mechanical arm and is fiercely devoted to the organization that took her in as a young woman in the wake of her mother's sudden disappearance. On the day that the Regional Office is attacked, Rose's and Sarah's stories will overlap, their lives will collide, and the world as they know it just might end.

Weaving in a brilliantly conceived mythology, fantastical magical powers, teenage crushes, and kinetic fight scenes, The Regional Office Is Under Attack! is a seismically entertaining debut novel about revenge and allegiance and love.

Read by Sarah Scott, Natasha Soudek, Susan Hanfield, and Mike Chamberlain.

Slowly hooked and abruptly released

I really appreciated the voice actors. it was a bit of a slow burn, but I grew to care about a variety of the characters. I think he did a brilliant job pulling together a ensemble of viewpoints to imagine a compelling event.

After the climax, the story hints at some really exciting new realities for the characters, but never follows up. I was so confused when the story was over, the ending was too ambiguous. I can appreciate some mystery, but close to nothing is resolved. The addition of a few more tantalizing threads makes it even more exasperating that it just drifted off.

I can not reccoment this book, simply because of the frustratingly underwhelming ending.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
