The Library of the Unwritten by A.J. Hackwith

4.0

Hell has a library, and within it is the Unwritten Wing, where every story that was never written or has yet to be written is kept. Claire Hadley, the current librarian, is responsible for keeping the Unwritten Wing under control; not as easy as it sounds considering restless books sometimes wake up in the form of one of their characters. When one such character escapes to Earth it is up to Claire and her assistants to retrieve it. Meanwhile, a soul has arrived at the gates of Heaven carrying a scrap of paper with dangerous implications. An encounter in Seattle between Claire's group and the angel sent to investigate the paper touches off a series of events that threaten not only the library, but Heaven and Hell and all the other worlds in between.

The Library of the Unwritten is a creative book with great imagination. Experiencing the story from several points of view enhances the character development and keeps the action going. I enjoyed the mythological influences and the fun characters. A whimsical book that will especially appeal to librarians and writers!
