She did a great job with the first book and continuity is important with series. I was so very glad to see that Caitlin Davies was also narrating this second book. I did choose to listen to Girls With Razor Hearts. Perhaps a few too many more as I started feeling overwhelmed with the issues, feeling like they were taking precedence over the plot. GWRH does explore a number of themes - bullying, sexism, classism, abuse and more. I will say that the phrase.'but he's such a nice guy' was powerfully used.
Some of it may be triggers for certain readers and listeners. Gentle readers, there are some 'darker' matter in Girls With Razor Hearts. And a blossoming romance is well done and well paced.
Are they working with or against the girls? The friendships between the girls are well depicted.
You'll have no problem knowing who to dislike and suspect - although there are some that I'm not sure about. I liked the cast of characters I met in the first book. And take note that the words futuristic and dystopian are good descriptors of this series. I could see flaws in their plan (and had suggestions on alternates!) But without that flawed scheme we wouldn't have the plotlines that lead to ever increasingly dangerous places and people on the way to the final aha! So, my advice? Just go with it. I had to shut down my default pragmatic thinking. (Now, I am deliberately leaving out a few details in order to prevent spoilers.) They head to another school, hoping to make contact with an investor's child that reportedly attends this institution. They escaped and are now on the hunt for the Corporation, determined to take it down and free the girls still at the Academy. Mena and some of her friends discovered the truth about the experiments and violence at their school, Innovations Academy, in the first book. I quite enjoyed it and happily settled in with the newly released second book, Girls With Razor Hearts. I listened to the first book in Suzanne Young's YA series ' Girls With Sharp Sticks last year ( my review).
