Book description
In an Absent Dream: A Doorway to Darkness
Liza thinks she's found her perfect world.
Seanan McGuire's fourth installment in the Wayward Children series follows a young girl who escapes the suffocating expectations of proper society through a doorway to a realm built on logic and reason. Unlike the whimsical fantasies or dark underworlds that claim most travelers, Liza's chosen world operates on riddles and lies-a place where everything has a price.
The story unfolds with deceptive simplicity. Liza, serious and studious, rejects her predetermined future as a respectable housewife. Her new world seems like paradise until she discovers the goblin market's cruel economics. When her time grows short, she makes a desperate bargain-the kind that never ends well.
McGuire's narration shines in this audiobook format, capturing Liza's transformation from eager student to someone who's paid too dearly for her education. The author's experience with dark fantasy bleeds through every carefully chosen word, creating an atmosphere where logic itself becomes a weapon.
What makes this stand-alone tale particularly chilling is how it examines the cost of knowledge. Liza's world teaches her that some lessons require payment in blood and innocence. The goblin market metaphor works beautifully, showing how desperate people will trade away pieces of themselves for what they think they want.
The supporting characters feel authentic in their damaged complexity. Each has made their own bargains, their own compromises with worlds that demanded too much. McGuire doesn't shy away from showing the psychological toll of belonging to places that ultimately reject you.
Listeners will find themselves questioning what constitutes a fair exchange. Is knowledge worth the price of one's humanity? Can paradise exist without sacrifice? These philosophical questions linger long after the final chapter, making this audiobook experience both entertaining and thought-provoking.
McGuire's reading style perfectly matches the story's tone-measured, intelligent, and subtly ominous. Her voice carries the weight of someone who understands that some doors, once opened, can never be closed again.
