Dear Diary,
Just finished listening to Labyrinth's Heart and I'm still catching my breath. What a finale M.A. Carrick has crafted for this trilogy.
The narration pulled me in from the first chapter - there's something magical about hearing Ren's multiple identities unfold through voice work. You really get to experience her transformation from con-artist to heiress to rebel to vigilante when it's performed aloud. The way she shifts between personas becomes almost musical.
Carrick (the brilliant collaboration between Marie Brennan and Alyc Helms) has built something special here. The city of NadeΕΎra feels lived-in and dangerous, the kind of place where ancient magic stirs in basements and every noble house hides secrets behind gilded doors.
What struck me most was how the audiobook format really highlights the theme of performance that runs throughout. Ren isn't just playing roles - she's performing survival. Each mask she wears requires a different vocal quality, a different rhythm of speech. The audio brings this to life in ways I imagine might be harder to grasp on the page.
The pacing builds beautifully to this climax where all her carefully maintained identities threaten to collapse. Grey and Vargo feel like real companions on this journey, not just plot devices, and their voices add layers to the story that complement Ren's perfectly.
This trilogy has been a masterclass in character-driven fantasy with just the right amount of mystery and magic. Highly recommend experiencing it through audio - the performance adds something truly special.
Yours in literary satisfaction,
A devoted listener
