The Archived
by V.E. Schwab
3.5 stars.
I enjoyed this, but not as much as I'd thought I would. If you have anything resembling a library in your synopsis, I'm likely going to pick the book up, and a library of the dead sounded particularly intriguing. There was a lot to love about this story - action, adventure, twists and turns - and it was fast-paced enough to make it very easily readable, but I never quite connected to our main character. Maybe it's because this was a series, but I'd expected a bit more emotional growth/change in Mackenzie from the start of the book to the end, and I didn't really get that. I might pick up the second one, but it's not a high priority for me right now - maybe if she ever completes the series I'll give it a read then.
