Interpretation Concering Books Indexing (Indexing #1)

“Never underestimate the power of a good story.”

Good advice...especially when a story can kill you.

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected—perhaps infected is a better word—by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

That's where the ATI Management Bureau steps in, an organization tasked with protecting the world from fairy tales, even while most of their agents are struggling to keep their own fantastic archetypes from taking over their lives. When you're dealing with storybook narratives in the real world, it doesn't matter if you're Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, or the Wicked Queen: no one gets a happily ever after.

Indexing is New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire’s new urban fantasy where everything you thought you knew about fairy tales gets turned on its head.

I hadn't tried any Seanan McGuire before, so picked this up when it came up as an audiobook special. The story is relatively light in tone, even as it emphasises the darkness of the fairytales that are the core of this world.The story revolves around a government agency dedicated to preventing the driving narrative of fairytales from attaching itself to people and forcing them into the roles and plot events of the story. So random people are forever in danger of becoming Sleeping Beauty, or the

Where once upon a time doesnt lead to happily ever afterFairy tales are real! And thats not a good thing. Do we really want whole towns falling asleep for 100 years because a Sleeping Beautys story has gone active? In this book fairy tales are like a constantly mutating force of nature thats trying to manifest in our real world, so of course there's a secret government agency, the ATI Management Bureau, whose agents spend their time running between potential story disasters in the struggle to

Indexing started its life as a Kindle serial, and it worked well read that way, with most of the chapters being self-contained. Main character Henrietta (a.k.a. Henry) and her teammates deal with fairy-tale crises in their city, and the reader is given a rising note at the end of each installment that makes them look forward to the next one. Maybe it worked too well as a serial, since I found it tedious when taken more than one chapter at a time.Since I read Discount Armageddon earlier this

This was my second time reading this book and I decided to try out the audio this time. Despite still loving the story in general, I would definitely recommend reading it instead of listening. I did not care for the narrator's voice at all and I felt like she made a lot of the female characters sound very whiny or air-headed a lot of the time [not to mention that her male character voice was just ridiculous]. Sloane's voice in particular was just baffling to me because her persona is basically

3 1/2 stars, I liked this but not as much as Velveteen vs series. The incredible world building of the author is fully displayed but for me the characters just weren't as compelling. I have to say I started out hating Sloane, but she in time grew on me. Now onto book 2.

When fairy tale archetypes want to play out, you better hope someone's around to cut down on the casualties.That's where Henrietta Marchen and her team at the ATI Management Bureau kicks in.Henry is a 709 (Snow White), Sloane Winter is a Wicked Stepsister, James is a cobbler-elf, and Andy is a normal mortal who lost his brother when a Sleeping Beauty put a town to sleep before she starved to death.When the team triggers a non-manifested Pied Piper named Dani to help prevent the spread of a new

At the end of the day, McGuire needs to stop turning in first drafts. Either that, or hire a new editor, because the one she has is about as rigorous as a kindergarten teacher (I hesitate to say first grade, because I know how Mrs. Bauman was about penmanship back in the day). It could also be that I like my lines neatly drawn; a book is a novel, and a serial story is something read in short installments, allowing time and life to fuzz details between episodes. Books are not tv series, and tv
