About this listen

 A cynical, disabled film director with borderline personality disorder gets recruited to join a secret organization that oversees relations between Hollywood and Fairyland in this Nebula Award–nominated and Tiptree Award Honor Book that’s the first novel in a new urban fantasy series from debut author Mishell Baker.

A year ago, Millie lost her legs and her filmmaking career in a failed suicide attempt. Just when she’s sure the credits have rolled on her life story, she gets a second chance with the Arcadia Project: a secret organization that polices the traffic to and from a parallel reality filled with creatures straight out of myth and fairy tales.

For her first assignment, Millie is tasked with tracking down a missing movie star who also happens to be a nobleman of the Seelie Court. To find him, she’ll have to smooth-talk Hollywood power players and uncover the surreal and sometimes terrifying truth behind the glamour of Tinseltown. But stronger forces than just her inner demons are sabotaging her progress, and if she fails to unravel the conspiracy behind the noble’s disappearance, not only will she be out on the streets, but the shattering of a centuries-old peace could spark an all-out war between worlds.

I liked the story and most of the world created. But struggled to understand/like/agree/empathise with the main character. She has a mental problem so maybe it’s my fault for not getting her but it made me enjoy the book less. Arden read the book brilliantly, and I could distinguish the characters easily with her narration

Well written, frustrating main character

this is a great story in that it has a narrative (very well read aloud) from a female adult with borderline personality disorder. The details of BPD address spot on and a good way to learn about it if you know someone with it like I do. But the level of fantasy is extreme and I hate fantasy, my imagination doesn't reach that far so I switch off and get bored. very bored. So if you like fantasy I think you will love this book for many reasons. Otherwise, avoid. I wish Audible would not mix fantasy with sci fi.

it's great but also a narrow niche,not for me.
