The Book Binder's Daughter by Jessica Thorne

3.0

Thank you, #Netgalley for the audiobook ARC of this book.

My overall rating of this book was 3.5 stars.
The narration was a 4-star.
The plot was a 3-star.

"Books and magic have always gone hand in hand."

Synopsis
Sophie Lawrence has been away from Ayredale Special Collection Library since the disappearance of her mother. Although she has no memory of her youth experiences, returning to the library unleashes dangerous secrets, unpredictable people, and lost memories that were better left unknown.
Enter the Ayredale Special Collection Library and join Will, Tia, Arthur, Victor, Sophie, and Edward in a mysterious journey combining magic and books.

My Opinions:
What I Liked
- This cover is amazing!
- books, magic, and the library. The overall themes in the story were well done. PLUS I just really enjoy magical tales
- The narrator did an excellent job bringing each character to life. I especially loved her rendition of Tia.

What I didn't like as much:
-There were several storylines and character development opportunities that I feel were missed.
- Unnecessary or repetitive details.

Would I listen to this again? Probably, just to see if there were aspects I missed. Would I read this story? Probably not. I feel like I would skip a lot of the unnecessary or repetitive details.
