The Library of the Unwritten was slow to start, however once you get past the initial world-building it bursts to life. Combining debate on belonging, the found family trope, and an ambitious amount of religious lore, I was gripped. This book is tense and lively, and in the end, surprisingly moving. I found myself less invested in the stakes of the plot than I expected to be, however the relationships between the characters made up for this. Packed with twists and turns and delightfully dry humour, this book is a delightful adventure
