Ex-Libris by Ross King

3.0

Picked it up because of comparisons to Instance of the Fingerpost and The Club Dumas. It was fine, but not as enjoyable as either of those. Crammed full of historical tidbits, but the action sometimes got melodramatic and it was just sort of difficult to get excited about the story or the main character. He didn't have much personality. Flipping through it now, the style/setting isn't all that different from Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell either.
