The Library of Light and Shadow by M.J. Rose

2.0

I didn't dislike this enough to not finish it, but there's a lot to pick on here. My chief complaint is that the plot shows its structure very obviously, and our first-person narrator drops an absurd number of hints for things that she can't figure out herself. It's sometimes fun to be able to figure out a mystery on your own, but when the story is solely driven by the characters' obliviousness, it's just frustrating.
