So I did enjoy this, but I'm rating in the 3 star range because I didn't love it, and I didn't think it was quite as strong as book 1 which was a solid 4 star read for me. I think the additional POVs were interesting, though a few I could have done without. I also wasn't a huge fan of the additional romance arc it felt a bit forced to me.
The world is so interesting though, and the larger plot is super compelling. I'm chomping at the bit to learn more about this library and call me crazy but some of these characters who shall remain nameless remind me a bit of Jorg .....something malicious is afoot here my friends.
I think this could have been a bit stronger, it has a bit of middle book syndrome for me but I'm satisfied by this installment!!
