The Book Binder's Daughter by Jessica Thorne
4.0
A magical library full of books and secrets is a perfect lure for reading addicts like me. The Book Binder's Daughter is that perfect lure. Sophie who has no memories of her mother keeps dreaming the same dream for years but never gets any answers from her father. Suddenly she gets an opportunity to find out exactly that and her mother's secrets. What happens in this mysterious library and how Sophie is connected to this place is the story of this novel.
The author has weaved a wonderful story of connecting the present library to the ancient libraries of the world and their reasons of destruction. The story is confusing at the beginning but as the story evolves things starts getting a little clearer. I really loved the book though I wish Sophie's character would have been developed a bit more. I wish there was a real library like Ayredale :) I would give it a 3.5 stars.
