Usually not into serial writing, but this whole self-contained element makes it well worth while. Having a blast.

Probably more like a 4.5 I liked this better than the opening section.

Divertido, mas pareceu mais um filler do que um aprofundamento das relações entre os personagens apresentados no primeiro livro. Não me desanimou a continuar porque teve personagem novo aparecendo.

So far, Bookburners reminds me of The Librarians tv show - which is a good thing, but it doesn't have the math/literary/science references The Librarians. What it does have is a group of non-magical people very good at what they do who go around the world collecting magical artifacts - like books and bringing them back to a place where they are all collected and safeguarded. Each episode of Bookburners is just that, a self-contained story that forms a part of the overall storyline.
"Anywhere but Here" is Sal's first official case. The team heads to Madrid, where another man has opened another book and bad things are happening. Not downright evil - just wrong, and weird, and cool. The descriptions were awesome, and if the storyline itself is not terribly original, I think this particular danger was pretty doggone cool.
Sal is fitting in pretty well. I like how she manages to find the parts where this new job is similar to traditional police work, although I think her solution to this "hostage situation" worked a little too easily.
I will probably pick up another episode when I want a quick read, but I'm not sure I care enough for $20 to read the whole first season. $2 for a 40+ page episode seems a bit high too, but more doable somehow.

If this is how Serial Box is going to roll, they can have all of my money forever and ever.
