The story and the pace was good, the characters grew on me and i enjoyed their antics and how they interacted but the actions of the obscurosmith annoyed me, his finding loopholes personality put me off but i pushed through and saw Pearl one up him( is that the right expression idk), so i felt some of my frustations let go. The history behind this story quite surprised me, now i want to go back in time and experience the original bookshop too after i experienced the fictional one.
