All I have to say is that this book is really easy to listen to. It's really easy to follow while you are busy doing something else. Anyways I know about as much of the setting and time period as I did in the beginning. They don't really describe what happened other than there was a big phenomenon and a war took place. But I get a bit of a Romeo and Juliet feel with this book. We have August who is a type of monster that takes souls by playing music. He lives in the south of V City. Then we have Kate who is a human and is the daughter of the leader in the north city. Now the story is pretty boring as we learn about each of the main characters. August just wants to be as normal as a human. He doesn't like taking souls from people. He just wants to be able to play music and not have to worry about someone being affected by it. Kate on the other hand just wants to be home where she lived with her mother before she died. She thought it was to make her father proud but after some events taking place, she didn't want that anymore. The events taking place are that some monsters no longer want to be under her father's control and are retaliating. They are framing August with some deaths in order to break the treaty between the North and the South. The monsters are also trying to kill Kate in hopes that it will start the war as well. Kate contacts her father to let her know what is going on but he only believes her for part of the truth. Sadly he uses his influence to make it look like she was taken captive instead of being protected by August. They flee the city and are headed to a place that only Kate knows where it is. She has the coordinates for it and that is where they are headed. That is as far as I got. I still have about a hundred pages left. The book is in four different parts and I just started the fourth part. There could even be a fifth part that I don't even know about yet but I'm pretty sure it is only four parts. The book doesn't even call them parts. They are verses with plays into the title of the book and the fact that August needs music to feed. The book is interesting especially the further you go into the book. Once you get the retaliating monsters and how are two friends are trying to survive them, you get pretty hooked to the book. You are wondering how they are going to get out of this mess and that is pretty much where I am right now. They are in a place called The Waste and they need to get to the other side of it in order to feel somewhat safe. But The Waste is a dangerous place full of monsters and criminals. I'm pretty sure our main characters will make it to where they need to by the end of the book. Either that or they get caught. There is a second book to this and you know that I will be requesting it.
So until next time....
