About this listen

Where the Library Hides is Isabel Ibañez's stunning conclusion to the story that started in What the River Knows. A lush immersive historical fantasy set in Egypt filled with adventure, and a rivals-to-lovers romance like no other!

"Ana Osorio and Ahmed Hamad are consistently excellent as they deliver this audiobook."—AudioFile

Inez Olivera traveled across the world to Egypt, seeking answers into her parents' recent and mysterious deaths. But all her searching led her down a perilous road, filled with heartache, betrayal, and a dangerous magic that pulled her deep into the past.

When Tío Ricardo issues an ultimatum about her inheritance, she’s left with only one option to consider.

Marriage to Whitford Hayes.

Former British soldier, her uncle’s aide de camp, and one time nemesis, Whit has his own mysterious reasons for staying in Egypt. With her heart on the line, Inez might have to bind her fate to the one person whose secret plans could ruin her.

A Macmillan Audio production from Wednesday Books.

Narrator can’t pronounce a simple Spanish name

Normalize audiobook narrators confirming with authors how to pronounce names if unsure. Every single time the male narrator says the name Lourdes, it sounds like Lord. Maybe it’s my American ears, but I do know some Spanish, specifically Argentinean dialects, and it’s like nails on a chalkboard to me. I don’t expect perfection, but an attempt at accuracy especially with names is important.

I think the narrator for Ines’s perspective would have done a better job covering Whit’s.

Where Library Hides

4/5 14 1/2 hours audiobook but 1.2 just a bit over 12 hours. I had finished the 1st book about a month before. So I was excited when this one came out on 11/5. This is the second part of duology so it picks up right after the 1st ended. It was enjoyable to listen. I finished it in just a few days. Love adventure story set in the late 1800s in Egypt. Overall fun ride with adventure. The magic was explained and used more in this book which more into fantasy fiction than I felt the first book did. How everything was tied up at the end was enjoyable. This as stand-alone would struggle not knowing back stories. But duology worked great from the start of book one all the way through to the end of book 2.

Nailed the ending of the duology!

This was a wonderful, well-paced conclusion to the series! I’ve been waiting after that last cliffhanger and the payoff is really worth it. The author gives great descriptions and a believable magic system

Engaging voice work from the actress, hats off.

The writing

I have a hard time staying interested in books, even when I’m actually an interested. I usually quit after the plot twist is revealed or I figure out how the ending with go. That being said I read both of these jokes cover to cover. Truly one of the most beautifully written and engaging stories I’ve ever experienced. I would scrub it from my brain for a do over again if I could. Wonderful performance as well. The accents are spot on and incredibly soothing.

let down

the story felt so half baked.. the first 2/3 of the book dragged so bad mmc is horrible and his actions unforgivable. the end is disappointing because it undermined all the power the fmc had worked to grow into ... whole story was rushed and a let down
