This was a mission to get through. I usually love character driven books, but this was a little too character driven, even for me. The plot at this point is just pretentious writing which was great for the first 100 pages, and then you just need more.
I feel like if you're going to write a character driven book, the characters need to be dynamic and their relationships need to be interesting. This barely scratched the surface. I had no idea what motivated these characters. Why were they so driven to stay in this library? What were they learning? What are these classes? How do they feel about each other?.
This was a whole lot of nothing.
Even the beautiful illustrations couldn't make up for the lack of plot.
I just wanted more. But all the pretentious quotes were enough for me to finish the book.

Este libro ha sido tan extraño…
Tengo sentimientos encontrados porque se me ha hecho muy largo y en momentos incomprensible, pero el final me ha gustado y me ha dejado con ganas de saber qué va a pasar (?). El problema es la forma de escribir de la autora, que mete unos parrafazos de metafísica en momentos en los que lo que necesita el lector es entender la trama, así que yo me he quedado como wtf is going on todo el rato

Vocabulary in this is crazy. Had I been a smarter person when it comes to science and subjects of that nature, this would have been a fascinating book. Despite my lack of knowledge in certain areas, this book was still enjoyable. It had multiple POV's, characters with abilities, and unpredictable events. So good stuff.
I feel like something was supposed to happen, something happened, and yet nothing happened at all.

3.5/5 stars, rounded up to 4 because of libby rhodes.
pros: libby rhodes.
cons: needs more libby rhodes.
real talk: i'd summarize this as 'hormonal young adults talk about philosophy and physics.' started off very strong, but tapered off in the middle and fell flat by the end. i'm still staying on this ride for future instalments purely because of my investment in (you guessed it) libby.
