Interesting read, but very slow. I felt like the story could've easily been reduced by 150 to 200 pages.  There was a lot of repetitive lines and long descriptions of the library, then turn the page and Livira has aged 3 years. I enjoyed the story behind the descriptions but felt like all the extra writing took away from its intensity.
