THE LIBRARY OF THE DEAD Edinburgh Nights, Book 1

This is the first audiobook in a new series called Edinburgh Nights, set in a future post-apocalyptic world. Narrator Tinashe Warikandwa gives dimension to the featured character, Ropa, as she makes her way in a harsh environment. Warikandwa captures the spirit of a young teen who quit school to become a ghost stalker to support her gran, sister, and self. Warikandwa gives Ropa a gentle Scottish accent, yet her gran's accent is Zimbabwean. This contrast works to remind listeners that Ropa must rely on all her gran has taught her about Zimbabwean magic, as well more mundane street smarts. Warikandwa sets a quick pace as Ropa, full of bravado, is always hustling and trying to survive. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
