Time is short. The future is now. The Forgotten will rise.

This book picks things up right where the previous one left off and manages to take the series far further forward than the initial one with the hunger games style trial being put to one side upon completion as the main character ventures into a very different world than the one he was used to growing up.

It is interesting that the author seems to have managed to do a better job at introducing and fleshing out characters while far more stuff is happening around them than he did in the previous book, which was a more personal tale with the main focus being on Eron's journey, but even with having to cover more characters of note I also found Eron's development to be better in this book too.

The narrator again provided a strong performance and helped to enhance the overall enjoyment of this book in doing so.

Overall, a strong second installment in this series that built on the first one while changing quite drastically in scope.

[Note - I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.]

Don't be fooled by the apparent simplicity of the main players of this story and their gentle outlook. This is a tale of fear and chaos, broken lives, wild beasts, terror, love and racial discrimination. And war. Continuing where Book I ended, after the Selection, the two brothers go their separate ways, Timmi (now Nagi) back underground to his City, Freedom, and family there, and the younger Eron to the new thrills of Beta Prime, a city unlike any he has seen before, to a new apartment and wife. But the ruling Queen has decided that it is time to rid the planet of the animals living in the below ground tunnels and sends in her troops. Except the fur covered beings are as human as the Overlanders - and one of them is Eron's brother.

The narration by English accented Paul Jenkins is clear, with good expression and individually voiced protagonists. His pace is matched to the text and carries the story forward well. A good delivery.
Rise of the Forgotten is an exciting, full action story with vibrant imagery and a large cast of characters, which illustrates the cruelty that comes with ignorance, confusion, misunderstanding and corruption from above as well as courage, love and family bonds. My thanks to the rights holder who, at my request, freely gifted me a complimentary copy, via Audiobook Boom. An excellent young person's read.

Long gone were the carefree days
