A review by tightgenes
The Book Binder's Daughter by Jessica Thorne
2.0
ARC from Netgalley
The premise of this book is amazing, but the execution was lacking for me. I was ready for a lot of magic, a lot of mystery, and a dope library. But I was left with a confusing notion of what magic was in this book, the mystery basically being spelled out, and not enough description to really paint me a picture.
I thought Sophie was incredibly annoying and weak. There were so many instances of her knowing what she should do and just not doing it because she was timid or scared and it got very tiresome. The romance was mediocre and rushed, and I either needed more of that or more of an explanation of what the hell was going on with the magic.
