À propos de cet audio

Two strangers find themselves connected by a vast and mysterious library containing many wonders and still more secrets, in this powerfully moving first book in a new series from the international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of Thorns.

The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities.

The girl has been plucked from the outskirts of civilization to be trained as a librarian, studying the mysteries of the great library at the heart of her kingdom.

They were never supposed to meet. But in the library, they did.

Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“This tale of knowledge and its cost flies by thanks to the gripping mystery and beautiful worldbuilding...Readers will be desperate for more.”–Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A fantastic setting, a feisty heroine, and hints of a deeper mystery that calls to mind the depths of Frank Herbert's Dune and its intertwined cultural and religious issues."–Library Journal

"Lush and intricately plotted, this dense fantasy tale of an aspiring librarian from a village in a backwater known as the Dust and a boy who's lived his whole life trapped in a massive and ancient library is full of surprising twists and turns. With a plot that encompasses everything from romance and political intrigue to time travel and philosophy, this first installment in Mark Lawrence's new Library Trilogy is an often devastating story of the price we pay for knowledge."–Paste Magazine

Amazing

Extremely tight and riveting story with great dialogue driven characters. It is like soneone dares him to write a Fantasy series that takes place almost completely within a library. Challenge accepted. Success.

Dare you to write about a Library...

Trash main character. All violence with no driving need to find out more. Normally data at books are violent but there’s a reason or some way to stop it. This is a trigger warning written into a book with no let up.

Bad main character

I loved this book! Great performance and the world building is consistent and pays off.

Amazing world building

It took me a while to get used to the narrator but when I finally attuned I could hear their marvellous talent and ability to voice all types of genders & creatures. The story felt somehow distant in the beginning and I got emotionally attached towards 8hrs (before that I was quite interested just not in love) after that it just gets better and better. I kinda guessed alot of what was going on but that didn’t take away any of the fun along the ride! I Highly recommend - I’ve already pre-ordered the next book.

Worth the slow, daring buildup

Absolutely stunning..!

Loved the story, and loved the narration. Her voice is pleasant to listen, and accent fits so well with the world. She gives the characters distinct voices, and it effortlessly brings them to life.

The story is cleverly woven and complex. The first time I listened, I was shook. On 2nd listen, it's clear how well thought out the story is. This is easily one of my favorite books now!

Well written
