About this audiobook
The powerful second book in the New York Times bestselling Testing trilogy.
In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies—a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization.
In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas.
Though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.
“The Testing is a chilling and devious dystopian thriller that all fans of The Hunger Games will simply devour. Joelle Charbonneau writes with guts and nerve but also great compassion and heart. Highly recommended.”—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Flesh & Bone

The narrator's voice is rather flat and has very little emotion. Her attempt at giving the male characters a different voice ended in a raspy sounding woman which distracted me from the actual story. Not to mention it made me want to stop reading because of how bad her impression was. The story was fine, though there seems to be an incredibly long rising action, so much so that there is no tension and you're left feeling bored and tired. The Testing had so much more action, albeit a bit of romance as well, but Independent Study is nothing like it. It's as if The Testing is the climax of the plot and Independent Study is the falling action.
