Five things about The Library At the Edge of the World by Felicity Hayes-McCoy 5/5⭐️s
1. I picked up this old library copy of this book a while ago. It felt like a book I’d love but I just never picked it up. I did however continue to collect all the other books in the series and preorder the newest to be released in the States soon. That’s not something I do. I mean, I purchased all these multiple books by an author I’d never read a word of but felt like I’d enjoy. So when I finally picked this up this month there was a lot of pressure I was putting upon myself to love it. That usually ends badly. Not this time!
2. I thought I’d love this book and I absolutely did! It’s slow, and kind, and funny, and genuine. It’s all the things I love in storytelling.
3. Ultimately, this is a book about relationship and belonging.
4. The setting, the characters, their choices, the consequences…all are beautifully and realistically rendered by Hayes-McCoy with such love.
5. I am so glad I already have the next and next and next….to read. I care about these characters and this place.
