About this listen
Beatrice Shakespeare Smith (“Bertie” for short) consorts daily with fairies, spirits, pirates, kings and queens. Left in infancy on the doorstep of the Theatre Illuminata, Bertie’s confidants and acquaintances step from the pages of plays. When the Theatre decides to evict her from her home of seventeen years, Bertie fights to stay where she is as the curtain goes up on a drama of longing and discovery- with Bertie searching out the well-concealed secrets of her past. Infused with the love of the theater, Lisa Mantchev’s first novel weaves a coming-of-age tale which is rich and sensual, screamingly funny, deeply mystical and ultimately joyous.

Story
I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

Story
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie. But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind.

The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer. It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone - for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including five that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes.

This stunning debut captures the grotesque madness of Underland, as well as a girl’s pangs of first love and independence. Alyssa Gardner hears the whispers of bugs and flowers - precisely the affliction that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. This family curse stretches back to her ancestor Alice Liddell, the real-life inspiration for Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Alyssa might be crazy, but she manages to keep it together. For now.

I love this book!!!
The story is original and fun, and centers around a young girl's life in a magical theatre. The narration is amazing, Full Cast Audio did a wonderful job, and it was very entertaining. I had already read _Eyes Like Stars_ when I bought this audiobook, but the dramatization of it is a real treat, just as I hoped it would be. I am currently reading _Perchance to Dream_, which is the sequel to this book. I hope to get the audiobook for that as well, and I hope it is as good as this one :).

Disappointing
Would you try another book from Lisa Mantchev and/or Cynthia Bishop?
After reading Eyes Like Stars, I definitely wouldn't pick up another book by Lisa Mantchev. I used a credit because I was intrigued by the idea of a theater whose plays are acted by the actual characters. I thought the idea really unique and I was excited to explore that world.
By the third chapter I knew that the book would disappoint me. Instead of taking time to explain or explore why the theater is the way it is, Mantchev treats it as though all theaters are run in this way, and that there is nothing out of the ordinary in the Theatre Illuminati.
Instead, the story focuses almost entirely on the teen angst of Bertie, the completely unlikeable heroine. Bertie tries to be a rebel- dying her hair blue, but it all just felt too cookie-cutter. Bertie doesn't appreciate how special and unique her life is until she's threatened to leave. Then the rest of the book follows along as she makes one stupid, selfish decision after another. Her friends are loyal to her for reasons I can't figure out, and two guys are attracted to her but I just don't see the attraction.
I had to force myself to finish listening to the book as it trudged along to its predictable ending. The only thing that made it bearable was the full-cast performance, which was well done. If you're looking for something unique in the teen romance genre, this would not be it. But if you love the love triangle trilogy, then it might be worth a listen.
