Hmm. I thought this was really uneven. It was split between two storylines, Thea's and Peter's. Thea lives in a mysterious underground world and Peter's parents are scientists. And the first 3/4 of Peter's storyline was pretty boring. Also I didn't really like either of the audiobook readers, but especially not Peter's. But there were some cool concepts here and I did get caught up in Thea's storyline. I might give 3 stars to the paper version but this audiobook is not great.
