Library System Reset #5

by K.T. Hanna

A shadow of chaos lurks in the Library’s foundational pillars—

and treachery sneaks in through unseen cracks.

Quinn's grief threatens to capsize her, but as she places each action of her team's escape from the dragon siblings under the microscope, it reveals that every fateful step they took to reach the battle resulted from manipulation.

Pieces slot together, offering a vaster web of machinations. With a stronger connection to the Library, Quinn's new perceptions uncover a wealth of new information that only serves to compound her urgency...and makes her question who she truly trusts.

Scouring her people for signs of betrayal will lead to paranoia. But if she isn't careful, it could bring her precarious restoration of the Library crashing down and the universe with it.

About the author

KT Hanna has a love for words so extreme, a single word can spark entire worlds.

Born in Australia, she met her husband in a computer game, moved to the U.S.A. and went into culture shock. Bonus? Not as many creatures specifically out to kill you.

When she’s not writing, she freelance edits for Chimera Editing, and chases her daughter, husband, corgi, and cat. No, she doesn’t sleep. She is entirely powered by the number 2, caffeine, and beef jerky.

Note: Still searching for her Tardis

Reviews

Good God, I did not see that coming. There is no big event in this book per se, except the developments at the end of the book which set up the last book of the series. You can see all the pieces starting to move around the chess board as connections are made, motives are discovered, and a search for traitors really heats up.

I spent 3/4 of this book psychoanalyzing everyones actions to determine who a traitor or saboteur could be. I was totally surprised at the latest developments on the soul bomb. There was also no way in hell I saw that cliffhanger of an ending coming.

Normally I wouldn't give five stars to a book that was a lot of piece moving on a chess board but damn the last few chapters made up for it. I can't wait for the next (and I think final) book in the series.

wow and I couldn’t put it down

Wow is not the best word. Maybe creative, insightful and wondrous! I found myself self in the library. Worrying about the number of books that need to be returned. Who can be trusted? The characters feel like friends and enemies. Bad dragons . Good ones. A lot of the mysteries from the earlier books have resolutions. However some new concerns and twists are presented.

I look forward to this series every time I start up the audiobook. The unique System is only outshone by the stellar writing of the characters, as well as, now their adversaries. The pacing advancement for the Librarian continues to shine, always something new to discover and master.

The ramp of this specific book takes Team Library to new places with new adventures that will not stop until the next book. Enjoy this ride, because if is nothing less than phenomenal.

Library of Everywhere or Everything.

Librarian Quinn learns a lot and yet still has a scatterbrain that has been vexing her (and this reader) for the series. She learns more, and has a few adventures, but there’s no big climax in this edition - except maybe for the closing paragraphs leaving us in a cliffhanger.

A lot of atmosphere

Alternate universe, LitRPG, magic, save the library, hero's journey

Quinn continues dodging attempts on her life as her enemies focus on their ultimate goals, as it's learned there are two groups wanting the library destroyed. Slow moving in parts, with some twists and revelations. Above average editing. Ready for the next book!

DNF. I think I'm done with the series. The writing would get better in certain ways, but in other ways it got worse. Like there were simple silly editing mistakes, but the prose was a bit better. I DNF'd though cause it seems like Quinn is regressing and keeps going "oh there's just so much to do" and it becomes tedious to read.

Sure as heck didn’t see that coming

What an amazing ride. KT Hanna does it again. Thoroughly recommend this series. Just when Quinn thinks she has finally gotten a handle on things, something ( someone) throws a spanner in the works.
Already, I’m looking for the Grand Finale.

I never noticed when I read (listened) to Somnia Online that KT Hanna must be a Brit or Aussie, but in this series, every few chapters she drops some UK slang and Andrea Parsneau just reads it in her regular, American accent! Good stuff though. 👍🏽👍🏽

I don’t know how I feel about the twist at the end.

[Deb Burton]

Once again an excellent continuation of the story of the Library of Everywhere! Great action and adventure that left me wanting #6 on audible ASAP!

[Angela]

Yep still love these characters. The additions to this story were enjoyable and it was nice to dig a bit deeper into what’s actually going on. Watching new magic discovered is cool too.

[Morandia]

An interesting twist. Who can we trust? Who is friend? Who is foe? Enjoyed this quite a lot.

[Nasya Wright]

OMG! This book was incredible! I really enjoyed it! I can't wait to read the next book!

[Reck]

This book was a great addition to the series, really upped the stakes. Best book in the series yet!
I've been really enjoying the series overall, a good balance of cosmic revelation with bag guy fights and a few twists in between.
