I enjoyed this volume more than I did volume 6.
This volume wrapped up the storylines from the other volumes really well. When I was reading, I was on the edge of my seat and constantly wanted to know what was going to happen throughout the volume.
There are a few shocking scenes in this volume especially the scene where the planet blows up.
This is a great end to the Year 2 collection of this comic book series. I'm looking forward to starting the Year 3 collection soon.

While I enjoyed revisiting the tenth doctor's (my favorite) story, I did not like the first comic in this bind up that took up the majority of the pages. Again, I happened to read a comic that depends heavily on the issue in the previous bind up which I have not had the opportunity to read. Also, this one felt more like a different sort of story than I'm used to for Doctor Who with Egyptian gods playing characters (aliens obviously) in a complicated narrative. That brought this down for me. I did, however, really enjoy the art style of the second story, a standalone. I also enjoyed the plot of that one as well.

While I enjoyed going to libraries as a child and have fond memories at my home library in the children's section, it wasn't until I was hired by a library for my first ever job that I absolutely fell in love with libraries. I had even considered studying library sciences but ultimately studied something else that I love. While I am working part-time at a library again and enjoy it, this book has brought back those feelings I once had about libraries.
The Library Book (which I borrowed from the library) kept me engaged from cover to cover. Uncovering (pun intended?) the details about the 1986 fire kept me on the edge of my seat. Meanwhile meeting people who are working or have worked at that library on the pages of the book was incredibly welcoming, real human beings can make quite a wonderful cast of characters. And finally, just getting the history of the Los Angeles library was an adventure. The way each of these stories was interwoven and almost episodic so that one story didn't end too early before the others was a great touch to the style of the book.
If you are into libraries, mystery, and history, then I definitely recommend this one.
