Carolyn's not so different from the other human beings around her. She's sure of it. She likes guacamole and cigarettes and steak. She knows how to use a phone. She even remembers what clothes are for. After all, she was a normal American herself once. That was a long time ago, of course - before the time she calls "adoption day", when she and a dozen other children found themselves being raised by a man they learned to call Father.
Father could do strange things. He could call light from darkness. Sometimes he raised the dead. And when he was disobeyed, the consequences were terrible. In the years since Father took her in, Carolyn hasn't gotten out much. Instead she and her adopted siblings have been raised according to Father's ancient Pelapi customs. They've studied the books in his library and learned some of the secrets behind his equally ancient power. Sometimes they've wondered if their cruel tutor might secretly be God. Now Father is missing. And if God truly is dead, the only thing that matters is who will inherit his library - and with it power over all of creation.
As Carolyn gathers the tools she needs for the battle to come, fierce competitors for this prize align against her. But can Carolyn win? She's sure of it. What she doesn't realize is that her victory may come at an unacceptable price - because in becoming a god, she's forgotten a great deal about being human.

Wow...this book was captivating! It's one that I will think of often for the rest of my life.
The ending left open the possibility of a sequel, and I would love to see maybe a series of shorter length adventures (as opposed to something of the same magnitude as this one) involving the trio of characters from the end of the book (and maybe reviving some of the others).
Hillary Huber did an outstanding job with the range of character's voices...I could always tell who was speaking. And she nailed everyone's personalities, too.
Kudos and thank you, Scott Hawkins!
An amazing adventure!

What did you love best about Library at Mount Char?
Hawkins creates a universe paralleling our own that is full of interesting characters and powers that allow the story to veer in and out of normative reality subtly and not so subtly.What other book might you compare Library at Mount Char to and why?
This is a hard book to compare as it is pretty original. Maybe Neal Stephenson meets Stephen KingWhat about Hillary Huber’s performance did you like?
Hillary was spot on in accents, timing, and appropriate affectationsWas this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The concept is fantastic but unfortunately I think the author is just not good at character development. There was SO much potential.
The narrator makes the lead, Carolyn sound like a stuck up ditz, but did great on all the other characters.
Good Concept, bad writing

The blurb does a good job of selling it and I don't want to spoil too much as a lot of the appeal is the slowly unraveling mystery of the main character's plan. As others have noted, it's on the dark side, but it's not gratuitous - it's central to the message of the book.
There's a lot to unpack and it stays with you. I'm certain this will remain one of my favorites for quite some time.
Truly Unique (In a Good Way)
