The story was really interesting but I felt like it continually undercut its' own tension. It was a lot of fun ideas but because it was so short, every other page is a conversation and then simple reveal after a certain point. I thought the plot was great but the writing didn't make me excited to find out more. The writing was very tell, not show. It is built into such an interesting world and concept and that is such a small part of the story. I really wished we got to see more of the library or more of how it came to be. This seemed more to be a detailed outline of a super interesting story rather than the completed result.
