Very slow-paced yet I found it very interesting. I was hooked from start to end and found the descriptions and writing almost relaxing, setting a cozy and mysterious atmosphere to the book.

I'd long heard about this book, so I was excited to finally read it. Taking the concept of a magical Library of Alexandria, this book follows the perspective of its caretaker, and how the time and magic in the Library affects a person and their perceptions of things. I tend to like faster paced books, but this book absolutely savored in its slow pace and was better for it. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment!
