In the sequelish to Street Magic, Evvy goes with Rosethorn to a small island to find out what is killing all the plants and animals. It turns out that it is a volcano and it is up to Evvy to try and save the island. That is the basic plot of the story, but it is really more about Evvy learn to love humans. She loves rocks, but doesn’t really care if people live or die and it is in this book that she must learn to do so. Pierce released this book first as an audio. It won’t release as a book until 2008. Bruce Coville’s Full Cast Audio did the book. It is the first book (supposedly) to be released as an audio first. I don’t know how I feel about the full cast audio. On one hand, I found Evvy’s voice a bit annoying, but then because there were other voices, I did not have to listen to only that voice. I think I will try another and see if I like it. I think it is admirable that they are trying to make audiobooks important, but I don’t know if it will work. Although I have to note that I wanted to read it and so instead of waiting a year I did pick up the audio so maybe it did work.
