Elaine is an orphan girl who has grown up in a world where magical ability brings power. Her limited talent was enough to ensure a magical training, but she's very inexperienced and was lucky to get a position working in the Great Library. Now, the Grand Sorcerer - the most powerful magician of them all - is dying, although initially that makes little difference to Elaine; she certainly doesn't have the power to compete for higher status in the Golden City. But all that changes when she triggers a magical trap and ends up with all the knowledge from the Great Library stuffed inside her head. The knowledge locked away in the Great Library was meant to remain permanently sealed and letting it out could mean a repeat of the catastrophic Necromantic Wars of 500 years earlier. Elaine is forced to struggle with the terrors and temptations represented by her newfound knowledge, all the while trying to stay out of sight of those she fears.
But a darkly powerful figure has been drawing up a plan to take the power of the Grand Sorcerer for himself; and Elaine, unknowingly, is vital to his scheme. Unless she can unlock the mysteries behind her new knowledge, there is no hope for those she loves, the Golden City, or her entire world.

What did you like best about Bookworm? What did you like least?
I loved the idea, i loved the voice actor. But half way through the book i had to make myself stay. the last 30 minutes were painful. The story just... dropped.over use of "Existence" and having Elaine find strength she didn't know she had became cringe worthy.
The sexual experience seemed forced and Elaine's wondering about love afterwards was awkward. I believed her relationship to her tormentor more then the relation ship to Bee.
The voice actor was very good, but i will not be returning to this author.
Has Bookworm turned you off from other books in this genre?
i loved the idea, the idea was great and i would like to read another book LIKE this, but not by this author.Was Bookworm worth the listening time?
noI wanted to love this book

I strongly advise skipping to the last 5 minutes of any chapter involving bee or talking about bee outside of his intro scene to avoid wasted time. it will save you some eyerolls.
The narration, like the book, seemed average or a little below, but this is likely because I try to stick to books narrated by world class voices such as Tim Gerard Reynolds and Jeff Hays troupe rather than of any real failing by the narrator (she needs to expand her vocal range and study patterns of speech, or add some vocalization effects)
eminently average

LOVE Nuttall's Books, however, it was a surprisingly refreshing change to listen to a story from the magical universe, via the perspective of an early 20's Female Character.
Finally! An Adult Version of the 'Schooled In Magic' Series!
