I don't want to spoil anything about this book or the series. But, what I will say is that these books are full of excitement, wonderful characters and an interesting atmousphere. There is never a dull moment, with something always going awry.

The characters are so loveable and I was at the edge of my seat needing to know how things were going to turn out. It is also refreshing that there are many diverse characters. This story breaks the mold on many levels and really makes you think about things. The writing not only tells such a fantastic fantasy adventure, but it is so insightful. It's a rare treat to find such a book. I shall assume that it because we are in The Library of the Unwritten where a story can blossom and grow into whatever it needs to be.

I look forward to reading the next book if and when we get one and any other books the author should come out with.

Thank you to Netgalley and Berkley Publishing Group for a copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
