A high fantasy book about a library? Sign me up.

Had absolutely no idea what this book was going to hold and I was not prepared for the storylines it took me through. Incredibly well-crafted, but you need to have some more patience to get through this book if you tend to enjoy shorter chapters as lengths may vary. I found it more enjoyable when you have the time to sit down and enjoy a few chapters at once rather than bit by bit.

Once the hints started dropping, I was fully immersed and easily reading 100+ pages, if that gives any indication of how easy it is to read!
