À propos de ce contenu audio
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.

In this second book, however, horrors get to a maximum, often with unnecessary insistance (for instance, about the king's people "habits" which we quite understood all too quickly, without needing so many details, explanations and repetitions - how about subtlety? readers can get a hint, especially so many hints were sufficient to get what was going on), not quite sure also how this brings anything to the story... this is a gross topic that did happen in History, but remains infrequent enough not to bring it up as an obvious outcome. Sensitive readers / parents might want to skip the entire chapter when Livira sees the King again. They will be explained several times later on, again and again, about what she saw there (but they at least will be saved some horrific details that I personally could have done without).
On the other hand, the unbearable depiction of the horrible conditions of lives as slaves at least feels more justified as it is unfortunately written all over History from the start and it is essential to fight against it and keep memory alive, even though it makes a very heard reading.
Overall, there is also less surprises in the plot and less interesting thoughts. More action and horrible events really, so some readers might enjoy it more, or less, depending on what they are looking for in a book.
Still, I am unsure about buying the 3rd one. Though I do really hope people will be ok and am curious about how the author will solve all this and what is the final point he will make.
Please dear fellow readers / author, could you share trigger warning info about the 3rd? It really helps for parents and sensitive readers.
Good but very difficult to read
