About this listen

The library once stood proud as a beacon of magic and power. For five hundred years, it has been broken.

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly, she is the sole existing potential librarian. Now, it's not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the library system before the universe itself disintegrates.

Once she's settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work—just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no librarian for the last several centuries.

And once that's done she can start gathering overdue books. All 18,042 of them to start.

There'll be a helluva lot of late fees to process.

Decent story, snappy characters

Who wouldn't want to be a chosen librarian, restoring a treasured library? The premise is promising but the characters don't really fit the story. They are too snappy with each other instead of banding together to help. The characters don't act in a way that supports their descriptions. I like both this author and narrator but together the book is a little dour.

Not as engaging as I hoped

I expected to love this book, but the main character doesn't really reach me. There are moments when she appeals, but it's a long book, and became frustrating when it didn't truly engage me. There are many strong premises but they don't become pivotal in my mind as something I care about deeply. Overall the story didn't capture my fancy as I had expected and hoped. Andrea Parsneau is a fabulous reader but needs incredible writing behind her, like The Wandering Inn, which is why I tried this book. If I miss part of a book through distraction or running into the kitchen, I 'rewind' but stopped doing that in the last half of the book.

first of this author, narrator an LIT RPG genre

I have been weary of RPG style books, I grew up with D&D but just didn't see how a book full of tracking character stats an quest like formats would be a story that felt seamless and smooth. I just felt it would fill bog down, confusing and a ton of numbers to try to keep track of.
My mom got the book because her like I love books featuring a library, librarian and filled with humor. She had it playing as usual while cleaning up in the kitchen and I caught a few minutes of it, based on how it made me laugh an seemed truly interesting. So I took the bait and got to listening.
I am so so so glad I did. Not only did I instantly connect with the unique, vivid and quick witted characters, I found myself really enjoying the way this author used the RPG format, allowing it to be there but very smooth and truly easy to catch in to.
The story line somehow took a well used troup of opran being sucked into a foreign world and made it completely new fresh and left me obsessed with how wide open the plot was leaving you unable to guess where an how it would develop from here. Something that happens really rarely for me as I read over 300 books a year and can usually read the first chapter or two then pretty much be able to call the basics will play out.
Then there is the narrator....now I have a few I'm a die hard fan for, Amanda Roncolli being the Queen Bee of that list. Andrea blew me away!!! like I had to keep checking for co-narrators because the voices and personalities she pulls off with such natural ease was absolutely was completely amazing. I will not only be getting the next books of this series but will 1000% be only litsening to this series and then start devouring everything of hers (and most likely checking out KT's other books as well) that I can find.
Over all this book is like taking Belle, the Talking Furniture and turning Beast's library in the entire castle, then through in a foreign living tech system with a book based magical learning theme all the while sprinkling a dash of Lord of the rings, Earth's pop culture and some aspects of the 80s cartoon Dungeons and Dragons like the part of character being skilled but vastly different with humorously humanlike flaws having to relay on an all knowing but only cryptically revealing Dungeon Master as their mentor (who is more hologram most of then time than actually present)!!!
Trust me it all comes together creating a world, storyline and cast of characters that will grab your attention and never let go!! Links, Quinn, Malachi and of Dottie has already claimed a forever place in my heart, they have definitely been added to the top of my will buy in paperback to add to my top characters shrine shelf.

A frustrating listen

The premise is fine. The narrator is solid as she always is. The plot is good. Unfortunately the whole thing is ruined by the fact that everyone is always snapping at each other. It's not witty banter, its not sarcasm (though they try to pass it of that way at the start) its not characters with opposing ideals that always snark at each other. Any of these would be fine, but what we actually get is the kind of lashing out at people that happens when a person gets so overwhelmed that they lash out at the first thing that they see. Sure many of these character are stressed and overwhelmed, but its to much. Any whimsy and enjoyment is quickly dashed because just about every chapter has someone lashing out at someone else then immediately apologizing and then turning around and doing it again over and over and over. I gave book 2 a couple hours of listen to see if it got better but it seemed to get worse in the second book so I just gave up on the series. Maybe you will be less frustrated with this constant lashing out but either way Youve been warned.

solid start!

fun take on litrpg. thank you Andrea for drastically reducing the amount of hmm, heh, and huh noises you make! that was really distracting in other books like azarinth healer. the fear of that almost put me off this book but it really was a lot better in this book. I enjoyed the world of this book and the unique purpose of the mc

Okay, but not for me.

I really wanted to like this book more when I read the synopsis. It just wasn’t what I prefer. Performance was great, but the story was not for me.

Great find

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, technique holds it back a little, think it could’ve used another round of edits but overall was quite the experience. I will be continuing on and recommend this series

Book lovers dream!

At first I was unsure if I was going to like this book but I’m SO glad I stuck with it! I just finished listening to the second book right after this one and the story keeps getting better and fascinating developments keep building! A world I’d love to be sucked into. Well worth a listen!
