Another magical work!

Once again, the pairing of Andrea Parsneau and KT Hanna is a masterclass art. KT lures and hooks you with her wordsmith ways, and Andrea reels it in with the performance. In the words of Tyrone Biggums, "Ya'll got anymore of them Library books?"

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly, she is the sole existing potential librarian. Now, it's not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the library system before the universe itself disintegrates. Once she's settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work—just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no librarian for the last several centuries.

Another hit for the Queen of Cliffhangers

It's with a great sadness that I've come to the end of this book. The latest by K.T. Hanna has left me wanting and waiting for the next.
The interactions between Quinn and Links remind me of every interaction between boss and employee I've ever seen. The expectations of "Why don't you know this?" replied to with "Why didn't you tell me about this?" is such a relatable thing in todays world.
The world-building is as good as it gets, in the literal sense of that phrase. Its details and arcana are as complex as any other work of fiction I've read. It is a third character in the show. Every problem Quinn faces, from giant hungry bookworms to the broken system, adds another layer to a bigger and, because of the consequences packed in, a more immersive universe. The stakes are high because the tension is high. Almost every chapter-end forces you to read on, to know what can possibly happen next.
What makes this book special is that its LitRPG elements are integrated in such a way that they make perfect sense, both for the story and for the world where the protagonist is thrown into. Quinn’s progression, through which she learns new skills and how to repair the library, is hugely enjoyable but also genuinely unique; the quest log and to-do lists make them into actionable plans, thereby making Quinn’s victories feel like the tangible accomplishment they are. The quest log and the checklists – that’s real.
The icing on this beautifully crafted cake is a brilliant Andrea Parsneau narration. She is probably my favorite voice. I loved her performances of "The Wandering Inn" and "Eternal Online" series, and here she just excels again. There is a reason it says "Performed By" rather than "Narrated", because some of the characters have to be her: she breathes life into Quinn, and I just don’t know of anyone who could do it as well as she does. She makes the audiobook better than it would be if the book was just read aloud. Which to me is a huge difference.
All in all, Library System Reset: Overdue by K.T. Hanna is a great mix of magic, adventure, mystery, and danger. I've once dubbed K.T. as the Queen of Cliffhangers, the Sultana of Subtle, the Mistress of Bread Crumbs, and the Slayer of Sledgehammers, and she has once again she has left me awestruck! I don't know how, but she continues to surprise me. It is wonderfully unintentionally meta, and I love that.

What a performance!
Revisado: 06-11-21
I'm going to start by addressing the narration. This was my first time listening to a book with multiple narrators. I'd thought it was going to be awkward, but it flowed seamlessly. The entire team was magnificent. I don't even have the words to describe or explain how good it was. In the words of Dr. Ellie Arroway, "No words to describe it. Poetry! They should've sent a poet. So beautiful."
Now, for the story. As a 40+ dude, I... probably was not the "target" audience for this book. It does seem akin more to a romance story, with some teasing of sexual encounters. There's never really anything too explicit in the book. While I wouldn't insult this book by calling it "fan fiction", it feels like a story written by someone wanting to live out a fantasy of being with a hot demon guy.
But, do NOT let any of that deter you. The author has woven those elements into a wonderfully written story. Yes, there's some elements where more elaboration on the author's part could have helped. But this is counter balanced by the fact that each character genuinely feels unique. They each have their own personalities, and never waiver from them.
I can't wait for the next book, and I'm for sure looking to get more of the author's books.
