The city of Parole is burning. Like Venice slips into the sea, Parole crumbles into fire.

The entire population inside has been quarantined, cut off from the rest of the world, and left to die - directly over the open flame. Eye in the Sky, a deadly and merciless police force ensures no one escapes. Ever. All that’s keeping Parole alive is faith in the midst of horrors and death, trust in the face of desperation… and their fantastic, terrifying, and beautiful superhuman abilities.

Regan, silent, scaly stealth expert, is haunted by ten years of anxiety, trauma and terror, and he’s finally reached his limit. His ability to disappear into thin air isn’t enough: he'll do anything to escape Parole. Evelyn is a fearless force on stage and sonic-superheroic revolutionary on the streets. Now the two of them have a choice - and a chance to not only escape from …

The city of Parole is burning. Like Venice slips into the sea, Parole crumbles into fire.

Parole’s a rough place to live. But they’re not dead yet. If they can survive the imminent disaster, they might just stay that way…

About the audiobook...

5 stars

I got the book for the first time way back when it was first published and I loved it, Chameleon Moon is one of those books that feel like a warm hug, a blanket and hot chocolate, and - as biased as I might be as a backer of the kickstarter - I finally got to start listening to the audiobook and Roanna and Kyle did such a great job!!

The audiobook is such a powerful way to experience the book! I may have wibbled a little from Radio Angel’s first appearance and then Regan’s narration, and the music is so wonderful!! I’m so happy to have seen it come to life!! 💖

I think even if you're not usually an audiobook version it's well worth getting it, and if you are an audiobook person then you definitely should get it as well: The production value is excellent and really makes the narrative pop even more than it always has. Hearing Radio Angel in RoAnna's's own voice just feels correct and if you liked reading the book you should definitely listen to it as well.

AAAAAHHH THIS BOOK IS AMAZING READ THIS BOOK

For real though.

There's, I think, 5 disabled characters among the important characters? At least by my definition. Oh no wait 6. Several ones anyway!

Everyone is queer. There's several poly..
couples? With several people! There's a trans woman. Two nonbinary characters. An ace character.

THERE'S NO ABLEISM. No ableist slurs, no ableist Bullshit, Zilch. When you read the book you'll understand why this was a very good pun

I love every single character.

The story is surprising and captivating and exciting but not soul crushing. It's sad and hopeful and wholesome and infuriating all at once.

Expect some typos, it obviously hasn't been thoroughly edited, but that doesn't take away from the experience.

The writing is wonderful. It's straightforward but also very thoughtful and emotional.

Read this boooooookkkkk
