Revisado: 02-15-25

…excellent voices all, and so extremely well-produced! This audio is on my repeats list.

New Narrator…

Revisado: 11-14-24

… performed with a very distinctive style and voices that completely changed the characters for me. I have really enjoyed the series so far but will not go any further with the audio versions.

Really Good Story, but…

Revisado: 10-18-24

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the earlier books in this series. Interesting, well-written and entertaining without being too deep or too light. My overall rating this time is lower because, while the new narrator’s performance is okay, I feel the voice personalities just don’t fit the story setting - and most especially for the main character. I also didn’t know (or like as much) this Rosalind. The connections with the previous books were lost.

Enjoyable but…

Revisado: 09-04-24

I’ve enjoyed the Library series so far but have to say it’s not much of a spinoff from the Glass & Steele series (loved it!). Except for name changes, Gabe and Sylvia are copies of Matt and India in familiar situations. The other favorite primary characters from Glass & Steele are here unchanged 20+ years later, protecting Gabe the same as they did Matt. Willy’s strident 1-note personality is tiresome now and could use a little aging since there’s so much of her. These comments aside, the narrator’s performance is 5-star and the story is inventive and engaging enough to be well worth the time and credit.

Really good start!

Revisado: 08-11-24

I was already a fan of the Alex Versa series and thoroughly enjoyed this first book in Jacka’s brand new series. Jacka does a good job of setting up characters and motivations, but I was left feeling vague about this world. Another listen or book 2 will hopefully remedy that. The narrator, Will Watt, was stellar! His performance kept me riveted. I’ve just purchased other books performed by him!

Sadly this one lost me…

Revisado: 08-10-24

This story felt vague and apathetic from start to finish. I’m very disappointed in Penny. Her character has definitely changed from a smart independent 35yr old trailblazer to a wheedling whining dummy. When she thought there was a good reason to attend James’ trail (a page devoted to whining “But I want to be there”) and then was actually surprised at what happened I had to take a break. For Pete’s sake.

Love this series

Revisado: 07-29-24

Engaging and well-paced. Good company for slow days, long drives and chores. I love all of Nathaniel Parker’s audio performances-except his flat grating American voices (lol!).

Excellent story development

Revisado: 07-22-24

…all the way through to an unexpected yet fitting ending. I give this book 5 stars despite seriously disliking the voice and stucco delivery for Julia. Looking forward to book 2!

I started this series out of order…

Revisado: 07-08-24

I sometimes start a series with a later book and in this case it was fortuitous. I love this series - stories and narration - but I wouldn’t have even finished this first one. The story unfolds VERY slowly and yes the pacing of the narration seems a lot slower than the books to come (I pushed up the speed to 1.05 or 1.07). My advice to listeners who are remotely interested is to move forward in the series. It really is a very absorbing series. If you feel the narration/narrator seems slow or weird, adjust the audio speed a bit. (I find adjusting speed up or down makes a huge difference for a lot of audio books.)

Terrible narration ruined the story

Revisado: 05-28-24

The story may have deserved a better rating but it was impossible to remain interested. The reading was abysmal.
