About this listen
Two people living in a world connected by an immense and mysterious library must fight for those they love in the second book in a new trilogy from the international bestselling author of The Book That Wouldn’t Burn.
The Library spans worlds and times. It touches and joins distant places. It is memory and future. And amid its vastness Evar Eventari both found, and lost, Livira Page.
Evar has been forced to flee the library, driven before an implacable foe. Livira, trapped in a ghost world, has to recover the book she wrote—one which is the only true threat to the library’s existence—if she's to return to her life.
While Evar's journey leads him outside into a world he's never seen, Livira's path will taker her deep inside her own writing, where she must wrestle with her stories in order to reclaim the volume in which they were written.
The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board. The time has come when they must fight for what they believe, or lose everything.

Great time
I did enjoy the first book the most but had a great time with this one. I quite love time jumping stories and how everything comes together and small things from the first book end up having a bit impact in the second book. The middle of the story did drag but the ending was worth it for sure. The narrator did a fantastic job and I had no problem telling whose pov we were in even if I left off in the middle of a chapter

Great entertainment
My true rating is 4.25 - the story was engaging and I was happy to return to it after The Book That Wouldn’t Burn. Personally, it’s not on the same level as the previous which I loved, but the writing has gotten better (and the editing). I look forward to the third book. Narrator: When listening to the first book it took awhile before getting accustomed to the narrator- everything felt a little stiff. After a few hours I was used to it and could ‘feel’ the story - they are amazing at doing different voices, gravelly voices and male interpretations. So it was an easy return for this book, but still a tiny bit stiff in 3rd person narrating.
