Story
Isda does not exist. At least not beyond the opulent walls of the opera house. Cast into a well at birth for being one of the magical few who can manipulate memories when people sing, she was saved by Cyril, the opera house’s owner. Since that day, he has given her sanctuary. All he asks is that she use her power to keep ticket sales high - and that she stay out of sight. For if anyone discovers she survived, Isda and Cyril would pay with their lives. But Isda breaks Cyril’s cardinal rule when she meets Emeric Rodin, a charming boy who throws her quiet life out of balance.

Story
When Silla and Nori arrive at their aunt's home, it's immediately clear that the "blood manor" is cursed. The creaking of the house and the stillness of the woods surrounding them would be enough of a sign, but there are secrets, too - the questions that Silla can't ignore: Who is the beautiful boy who's appeared from the woods? Who is the man her little sister sees, but no one else? And why does it seem that ever since they arrived, the trees have been creeping closer?

Which is why the 16-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage - alive - is making headlines across the globe. Even more strange is that her body is miraculously unharmed and she has no memories of boarding the plane. She has no memories of her life before the crash. She has no memories period. No one knows how she survived. No one knows why she wasn't on the passenger manifest.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's Summary
In the tradition of the Lunar Chronicles, this sweeping reimagining of Les Misérables tells the story of three teens from very different backgrounds who are thrown together amid the looming threat of revolution on the French planet-colony of Laterre.
A thief. An officer. A guardian.
Three strangers, one shared destiny....
When the Last Days came, the planet of Laterre promised hope, a new life for a wealthy French family and their descendants. But 500 years later, it’s now a place where an extravagant elite class reigns supreme; where the clouds hide the stars and the poor starve in the streets; where a rebel group, long thought dead, is resurfacing.
Whispers of revolution have begun - a revolution that hinges on three unlikely heroes....
Chatine is a street-savvy thief who will do anything to escape the brutal Regime, including spy on Marcellus, the grandson of the most powerful man on the planet.
Marcellus is an officer - and the son of a renowned traitor. In training to take command of the military, Marcellus begins to doubt the government he’s vowed to serve when his father dies and leaves behind a cryptic message that only one person can read: a girl named Alouette.
Alouette is living in an underground refuge, where she guards and protects the last surviving library on the planet. But a shocking murder will bring Alouette to the surface for the first time in 12 years...and plunge Laterre into chaos.
All three have a role to play in a dangerous game of revolution - and together, they will shape the future of a planet.
Power, romance, and destiny collide in this sweeping reimagining of Victor Hugo’s masterpiece, Les Misérables.

StuPeed (Their word, not mine)
I completely understand this novel is meant for young adults/teens. It's also fantasy and based on Les Misérables. And in that vein I gave it a try. I'm 1/2 way through the tomb and I just don't understand why fiction for younger people can't be well written. The "story" is fine, as it goes. But the writing is stinted, over melodramatic and just "stupeed" (a term used over and over as a sprinkling of French seems to be the only nod the authors can come up with to give this work a European flare). It reminds me very much of the "Twilight" series that was so popular. Maybe this will take off as well. But purely as a work of fiction in the Audible format it's painful. The performance is shared by three readers who split duties as each chapter switches to the point of view of the three main characters. None of them are captivating nor do they do the work any favors by softening some of the more cringe-inducing dialogue. I would give Chatine a nod for helping the story move along in a way that's somewhat engaging. I will finish this book. I paid for it and I don't have any credits until the beginning of next month. I will warn away ANYONE who didn't "LOVE" the Twilight books and novels of that type.

It Les Misérables
I’m not a young adult, so this wasn’t written for me. I also read and loved Les Miserables. This is not a sci-fi adoption of that story. It is a story where the characters are loosely based on the characters from Les Misérables, but without the moral depth. Like I said, this wasn’t written for me. Additionally, the narrators’ weird habit of pronouncing some words with a French accent was annoying.

Too long but not much character's development.
I was very excited to listen to this book, I thought it was very promising and I was loving it at first. I really like the Les Miserables vibe and that it was at space, but we really didn't see anything related to space except mentions of others planets, that was all. It was also very long, and in the end we didn't have a lot of plot going on, just running around. I struggle to finish to be honest and won't be listening the second one. In the end, I hated Aloutte or whatever her name was, she didn't know anything and I felt she was very cruel to her father when she learned the true. Not the great characters I was expecting.

So much fun!
I had a lot of fun listening to this book! First of all, the narrators were great and their slight French accents made it more realistic. The rotating POVs moved the story along nicely, as did the short chapters. I didn't feel like there were any dull moments and I was totally engrossed in the plot. I had no idea this was a retelling of Les Miserables, which I haven't read or seen, so I didn't get those references, but that's an interesting tidbit!
This did a good job of being sci-fi without going too far into the genre, so if you're unsure about that part, give it a try. The characters are complex and I loved piecing them together. The way they intertwined was cool and this unfolded so well. I'm excited for the next book!

Basically a copy of Les Miserable (Disappointed)
At first I really loved this book and didn't even realize that it literally stole its story line from such a wonderful story. When I did realize then I was able to guess the whole plot and there was no point in reading it any longer. Which was a waste of time and money, I really do think this would've been a better story if it hadn't copied something else. It had some real potential with the setting, and some of the characters. I would recommend it to anyone that really likes Les Miserable and wouldn't mind reading a different version of it.

Good but started to drag
I really liked the idea of this book but thought the characters were a bit weak - apart from Chatine - and the ending didn’t have a very exciting climax. I didn’t buy into some of the ideas like everyone thinking Chatine was a boy just because she kept her hood up, but if I ignored the things that didn’t quite seem believable - even in a fantasy setting - the book had a lot of potential. There just isn’t quite enough to make me want to read another 18 hour sequel.
