"Award-winning YA author Holly Black has created an imaginary masterpiece yet again with her first foray into adult fantasy, narrated with perfection by Sara Amini."—AudioFile (Earphones Award Winner)

In the vein of Erin Morgenstern, #1 NYT bestselling author Holly Black’s stunning new audiobook is a dark fantasy of betrayals and cabals with a dissolute thief of shadows at the center of it all.

Charlie Hall has never found a lock she couldn’t pick, a book she couldn’t steal, or a bad decision she wouldn’t make.

She's spent half her life working for gloamists, magicians who manipulate shadows to peer into locked rooms, strangle people in their beds, or worse. Gloamists guard their secrets greedily, creating an underground economy of grimoires. And to rob their fellow magicians, they need Charlie Hall.

Now, she’s trying to distance herself from past mistakes, but getting out isn’t easy. Bartending at a dive, she’s still entirely too close to the corrupt underbelly of the Berkshires. Not to mention that her sister Posey is desperate for magic, and that Charlie's shadowless, and possibly soulless, boyfriend has been hiding things from her. When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends into a maelstrom of murder and lies.

Determined to survive, she’s up against a cast of doppelgangers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world—all trying to steal a secret that will give them vast and terrible power

"Dark, strange, thick with mystery and twists—a story so believable in its magic, you'll be keeping one eye on your shadow as you turn the pages."—Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of Ninth House

“Heart, soul, and a bit of kink—The Book of Night is smart, decadent fun.”—Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize Finalist

The story had a slow start but after reading a third way in it got more interesting.
The narrator did an outstanding performance as well.
Overall a very good story and worth the read.

Slow burn

Holly Black doesn’t disappoint as she takes us into an alternate reality where people’s Shadows can come alive and magic is real. The heroine is clever and funny, the story keeps you hooked from the start.

The performance is smooth and an easy listen.

Holly does leave me wanting more!

Most excellent!

It’s dark, smart, and relatable on many levels.
This story highlights societal issues like privilege, poverty, the sexualization of women, corruption in government entities, and other systemic problems. It also deals with psychology, particularly the idea of the shadow self. Charlie’s journey shows us that you don’t have to have tons of money or be someone big in order to be a badass and do great things.
I liked how the story jumped between perspectives, the past, and the present—telling two stories that eventually converge.
I didn't feel particularly attached to any of the characters, but they all felt believable.

A story about dark magic and a black market of grimoires

I found it difficult to get into and difficult to keep listening to it. The narrator isn't the best, I can see why people didn't like her.
the story is really slow and there's too much gloomy inner dialogue.

Hard book to finish.

Holly black has done it again, every time I read one of her books and I am never disappointed. She builds her world in a way where it’s never drawn out, the narration really helps the atmosphere and mood- at times even having some background theme music.

The characters were written so beautifully and real, you really get attached to them and their story. I was so excited for this to be her first adult book, it was so interesting and I look forward to more books from Holly Black or narrations from Sara Amini!

Holly Black world and characters draw you in

This wasn’t what I was expecting. The plot developed slowly with way too many side characters. I’m not sure what was “adult” about this story vs her usual YA (I guess the minute implications of sex and mentions of pleasure? The whole thing is still pretty PG). There was barely any romance and the story ends on a cliffhanger. It felt a bit dragged out or maybe I just couldn’t get invested in the world building.

If you’re just looking for fantasy/supernatural, then this would work for you but I personally purchased this because I was expecting some sort of love story and more of an adventure to do chores along with. It was hard not to be bored / skip forward.

Slow-paced

The story reminded me a lot of “Ninth House” by Leigh Bardugo. Since Holly Black writes a lot of books about fae, it’s not surprising that all the characters in this book are big on deception and secrets. The narrator’s voice was hard to listen to at points. She over pronounces her ‘G’s and pronounced the word library “libary”.

Interesting story, but annoying narrator

This was one of my most anticipated books of 2022 and it was disappointing to say the least. The story was boring because the magic system was underdeveloped which made it confusing and difficult to follow. Very sad about this one.

Disappointing
