My favorite character was Tass, she was cool. Everyone else was just annoying..
It took 15 chapters(Page 191) for this book to finally start picking up/become interesting. I knew it was going to be a good book, but I was so bored for the first half of the book. I was falling asleep in the middle of the day trying to read this book and it took me almost 2 weeks to finish..
There were so many unanswered questions at the end, but I'm not to excited to read a second book to get those answers(if there is one/will be one).
The world building was fine, but I don't think the first half of the book needed to be that. However, I really enjoyed the library world building parts. It made me think of my local library, since it's huge, and wondered if there are secret doors and tunnels there.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins Publishers for my copy of The Queen of Days.
This was SUCH an epic fantasy full of action, family, and a call to duty involving a small team of thieves and a magical woman who takes payment in the form of time. As in minutes, hours, days off your life. I had this read in less than 2 days. Amazing!
"If you agree to work with me, you agree to die thirty days sooner than creation intended."
Something I really enjoyed while reading this was the purposeful dialogue. Every word spoken by our characters told the story and explained their realities in a way that flowed so well throughout the book.
"But that's the thing about duty. You don't always get to choose it. Sometimes it chooses you."
If you love fantasy and are looking for a break from Faerie realms, this book should be added to you list!

I hate being in a man's pov. Also, I figured out the plot immediately.
