the whole “library with all the knowledge of the world” concept is really cool and somehow the execution was completely botched. it felt like the author was trying to throw in every possible fantasy and science fiction trope and reading it felt like listening to someone else tell you their dream. the characters were flat and ineffectual - I could tell when they were saying something that is supposed to be deep and emotional for the reader and it did nothing for me because I hate all the characters sorry
