About this listen

Remember when dead in the water was just an expression? Not anymore.

Fresh from her unplanned stay in the otherworld, Quinn MacKenna is forced to wait in Fae’s worst Airbnb - a grotesque gingerbread house in a forest full of breadcrumbs - for the captain who will guide her ship to the fabled Atlantis. But just as idle hands are the devil’s workshop, idle minds are the Titans’ torture chamber.

The last thing Quinn needs to do is climb down the rabbit hole of her own fears and self-doubts to confront her inner beasts. She has enough on her mind as she struggles to rediscover her identity and frets over the whereabouts of an old friend bent on vengeance and mayhem. An old friend she may have to put in the grave, whether she wants to or not.

Before she can worry about any of that, Quinn will first have to heal old wounds, enlist the aid of allies - old and new - and, somehow, survive the turbulent tides of fate. Unfortunately, in order to stay afloat, she’ll have to sail into yet another unfamiliar world: a realm of monsters and men and gods so old they are known only as Titans.

It’s all hands on deck - monsters, sea dogs, and scallywags - as Quinn strives to save who can be saved and beat those who must be beaten. With new powers at her disposal and an ill-matched crew to manage, it will be up to her to navigate these troubled waters. Odysseus may as well have taken a leisure cruise back from Troy compared to Quinn’s fatally fateful voyage.

Quinn will have to bring enough rum to get a cyclops drunk. Or die trying. Because, it’s awfully hard to steer when gods are rocking the boat. And the world desperately needs her to come back home.

If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to stop listening to the highly addictive Phantom Queen Diaries or anything else in the Temple Verse.

I’m listening to the Templeverse start to finish which I like on the whole but there are some things that bug me, and of the three intertwined story arch’s (Nate, Callie & Quinn) Quinn annoys me most. We’re now on book 8 and she’s supposedly gained lots of different powers an abilities across these books so why isn’t she using any of them, she learnt how to make portals, why does she suddenly seem to have forgotten that?! She’s supposed to be a goddess, could have fooled anyone listening! And don’t get me started on some of the irritating writing, ‘the blue man, did they mean Rhian?’ Who the hell else are they going to mean, there is literally no other ‘blue’ character in the book, that is just sloppy writing, which is just insulting to the reader, like you can’t be arsed. The other books and story arch’s have a few moments like this too but on the whole they do at least explain and justify most of it, why powers weren’t or can’t be used etc. Although I wish they’d make their mind up on the rules of who can access and enter Falco, that seems to change every book too. At this point Quinn is just coming across like more and more of a moron, which is not how her character was set up, I’m sad to see her become less of a ‘real’ character and more of an idiot bumbling through everything and making idiotic decisions. Looking ahead the next 2 books in the Templeverse are Quinn too, which quite frankly is depressing for me at this point.

Too many contradictions for me
