About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Some books should never be opened.
A spellbinding, edge-of your seat thriller, Ink Blood Sister Scribe follows a family tasked with guarding a trove of magical but deadly books, and the shadowy organisation that will do anything to get them back...even murder.
For generations, the Kalotay family has guarded a collection of rare and dangerous books. Books that let a person walk through walls, or borrow someone else's face; books of magic.
Now, Joanna Kalotay lives alone in the woods of Vermont, their library's sole protector, while her estranged older half-sister, Esther moves between countries and jobs, constantly changing, never staying anywhere for longer than a year, desperate to avoid the dangerous magic that killed her own mother. She is currently working as an electrician on a research base in Antarctica where she has found love. Maybe, finally, she feels free.
But when someone on-base begins using magic, Esther realizes that she can't outrun her family's legacy. The long-separated sisters must work together to unravel the secrets their parents kept hidden, secrets that span centuries and continents, and even other libraries...

"A twisty and thrilling fantasy in which both the magic and the characters have real complexity, real shadows. If, like me, you're a fan of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo, pick up this book at once." (Kelly Link, Get in Trouble)
"Ink Blood Sister Scribe is so many things at once: an adventure, a puzzle, a twisty thriller, and a tender romance. It is, she says, a magical book about the magic of books; I adored it." (Alix E Harrow, The Once and Future Witches)

Great narrator!
There are a wide variety of accents and tones in this book and I think the narrator did a magnificent job! Each character felt fleshed out and real, and the story was very engrossing. I had a lovely time!

Great Narrator, intriguing story
The narrator did SO WELL with all the different accents in this book, including not butchering the Australian. Great story also, quite different than any other storylines regarding magic and books. Very intricately woven plot lines.

Great modern day fantasy
Two sisters half a world apart are (unbeknownst to themselves) linked to an arcane library of books that hold magic. Their father thought he'd made them safe, but then one of the sisters makes a decision that puts them all in jeopardy. Great characters and well-written, great narrator.

I was sucked in!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Cold was easier to bear when you’d never been warm.”
Ink Blood Sister Scribe is about a secret library, magical books, and secrets to be discovered. Emma Törzs debut is a little bit of fantasy, a little bit of dark academia and a little bit of mystery, coming together to create a truly engaging story.
We follow two estranged sisters, Joanna and Esther, tasked with guarding their family's collection of magic books. We also have Nicholas, the last Scribe, isolated in a hidden library.
I don’t want to say to much as you I want you to experience it for yourself, but there were so many little secrets, mysteries and twists that really keep you hooked!
What you’ll find in Ink Blood Sister Scribe:
- Magical Books
- Secret Library
- Two sisters
- atmospheric
- Multiple POV
“What was the point of fighting if there was nothing, no one, to fight for?”

Slow to start Quick to finish
I struggled with the first part because there was simply too much telling instead of showing - having to hear about each POV character tell how they grew up and how they felt about it just got boring. There was some mystery and magic and danger and intrigue to keep me going but it was - as said- a struggle. Then the 2nd part started and all the action and characters came together and it got much better- but ended somewhat predictably and quickly. A good read but not great. Praise for the narrator but the Boston accent was really bad.
