For fans of Cassandra Clare's City of Bones and Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke & Bone, The Girl at Midnight is the story of a modern girl caught in an ancient war.
Beneath the streets of New York City live the Avicen, an ancient race of people with feathers for hair and magic running through their veins. Age-old enchantments keep them hidden from humans. All but one. Echo is a runaway pickpocket who survives by selling stolen treasures on the black market, and the Avicen are the only family she's ever known.
Echo is clever and daring, and at times she can be brash, but above all else she's fiercely loyal. So when a centuries-old war crests on the borders of her home, she decides it's time to act.
Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seen. It will be no easy task, though if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it's how to hunt down what she wants...and how to take it.
But some jobs aren't as straightforward as they seem. And this one might just set the world on fire.

This story is noted as a young teen, and our heroin is 17 years old. HA!! This is fantasy at its best and our heroin is anything but a 17-year-old with young dialogue! The author takes from her personal background and experiences in travel and implemented them in this book. Creative writing that is entertaining if you like fantasy romance genre.

The narrator is fine, she just does not have the range to make male voices very distinctive, but I could follow who was speaking well enough.
I don’t think I will listen it again like I did other books (Dresden Files, The Grey Friar, The Tiffany Aching séries, etc), but I am glad I got it.
It does take a while
