Ancients

Librarian’s Coven Series, Book 4

By: Kathryn Moon

Narrated by: Cornell Collins, Sienna Frances

The Ancients, a race of creatures between gods and monsters, are trapped in Canderfey. Fighting for their home, the University, and the remaining residents of the town, Joanna and her coven are in daily peril. When one of the Ancients escapes the boundary, the coven is separated, Isaac traveling in search of a solution to the turmoil of the summer.

As days wear on, can Joanna and her coven keep their warrior spirit, or have they been fighting too hard and too long? Perhaps the Ancients - older, more powerful, and impossible to kill-are an obstacle too enormous to overcome.

Will Canderfey be saved and the coven free to live in peace? Or will the cages, keeping Ancients in and magic out, crumble and set chaos loose upon the world?

Contains mature themes.

Loved it

I fell in love with this series. Slow/medium burns are my jam. I love how it started off with Johanna’s obsession with the library, and morphed into so much more. Book one was exciting and drew you in bit by bit. Book 2 I found slight less exciting but book 3 made up for everything.
I love the magic in this world, imagining, somewhat, like it’s a school similar to Hogwarts, only from the teachers perspective. The magic system in this world is very well done, I would I enjoyed a little more in depth on the details, but I still enjoyed it.
Bryce is probably my favorite character next to Johanna. I would have loved to learn more about them.
The narrators did a fantastic job. If you enjoy British narrators who are good at keeping voices assigned to a specific character, then this is the book for you!

Just Lovely

I'm not a fan of continuing series but I have enjoyed this one immensely

best poly relationship

It took me awhile to finish. There is SO much sex; at a certain point i was like " Ugh can we finish an encounter without sex." that being said i just finished the story and it left me feeling so happy and not regretting the $ cost of the series.
Some of the scene changes can be abrupt so if your mind goes wondering you can find yourself rewinding alot which is what kept happening to me. This is not a stand alone book you need to have read the ones that came first to know and understand what is going on. Lovely is my last thought on the subject.

Delicious and delightful!

Just finished the last book of the series and it didn’t disappoint. The characters are delicious in their complexity and sexuality. The stories are captivating, interesting and delightfully wicked. I think Kathryn Moon is my new favorite writer!
These books were well written - pun intended - magical and a feast for the senses. The narrators were perfect! I loved everything about this series with one glaring exception - the misuse of the pronoun I when it should have been me!!! It jarred me out of the narrative on every misuse. C’mon editors!!! Dialog is one thing, I’ll grudgingly accept mistakes then, but not in the prose - especially on such a fine piece of writing- about the written word.

A great conclusion!

This book was so good! I loved how the unlikely friendship formed and how there were actual consequences that made the big battle actually mean something. If this series were a movie, I'd watch the heck out of it. I'll probably reread later. The only thing I didn't like was the male narrator's voice for Bryce. I also thought they could have used the strivens magic to make a lot of things easier and they didn't and it didn't make sense to me.
