A review by missbryden
The Book Smugglers by Anna James

4.0

I continue to like the book lovers, books about books feature, and at the end I wanted to know what will happen next. I also like the traveling within a book: this adds to the list of books in which I've traveled to Venice, a place I've never been in real life.
As a trained archivist I'm still uncertain about what the fiction is saying about the existence of archives and archivists, given what happens to the book wanderers archive.

Spoiler

Especially because it's not clear whether the book wanderers archive, the records of book wanderers wanderings, is necessary, what does its disappearance mean - and this doesn't seem to be the main issue in the story - the end makes it sound like there'll be another book, to look into Milo's history, but will they revisit the archive issue, and how did that work with the book wandering/story magic.
