This was an interesting story but I did find my mind
wondering. The story is based on a military women and her career. It fast
forwards a lot and skips over a few years through out. For me something is lacking,
there is action but I just do not fill it. She has two love interests but that
is about all we know. Gracie has a very interesting career that is
full of killing people and saving other military personal through her talents. She
is a very talented sniper and does an outstanding job. The author takes you
through lose of friends, bring back some that should have been dead. This is a
story base on the future and the technology we could only dream about.
Ms. Schnaubelt does a really good job with her
narration, there are no repeat of words nor any background noises or anywhere
that the volume changes. If any breaks where taken I could not tell. It is a
very clean and clear audio that the narrator deliveries in a delightful way.
After each chapter announcement there is a number I am unsure of what that is.
I thought it was a page count but a lot of them have the same number which left
me confused. Her character voices were outstanding you have no trouble
understanding who is talking or what they are feeling. Her male voices were
just as enjoyable as her female’s ones. She
puts emotion into her read you can feel each emotion as the characters go
through their day to day life. I thought her performance was great except for
those numbers after each chapter. The
narrator has a very pleasant voice that pulls you in giving you an in depth feel
of the danger around them.
There is nothing in this book that really grabbed me and
wouldn’t let me go. It isn’t boring at all just nothing that really held my
attention. Too many years were skipped and I felt a lot had been left out. I
enjoyed the audio just not one I would want to listen to again nor does it want
me to want to read the other books in this series. It could be because I had
not read the first one and I am missing something. I hope you will give it a
try the narrator alone is worth the listen. You decided what you think of this
and if it is something that you may want to listen to. It is a clean read which
is pleasant.

Summary
After a successful initial tour as a Marine rifleman, Lance Corporal Gracie
Medicine Crow volunteers to become a scout-sniper, one of the deadliest - and
most dangerous - military specialties in the United Federation Marine Corps.
Gracie comes from the Apsáalooke Nation, a people with a long history of
military tradition. Small in stature and considered stunningly beautiful, she is often underestimated, but that merely drives her to be the best sniper in the Corps. Somewhat wary of her fellow snipers' attention and interaction with her, she maintains what she considers a professional front, but one that is not as well received by others - and one that earns her the nickname of "Ice Princess".
A technically skilled sniper, Gracie feels her shooting should speak for itself. But being a scout-sniper is far more than simple marksmanship. If she wants a career in the Corps, she must learn not only teamwork, but how to be a leader of Marines.
This is the second book in the series, but each book is standalone and does not have to be heard in conjunction with the others. The series follows two Marines and a Navy corpsman as they follow their individual career paths.
