At this point in my life, i appreciated the message
It was narrated very slowly - even at a higher speed, the narrator spoke at a natural speed. Whilst it matched the tone of the book, this may not suit everyone

Haig earns an additional quarter-star for using the word "ceilidh", but overall, The Midnight Library earns a solid "meh" for me.
