The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

medium-paced

2.0

Reads like Good Omens or Umbrella Academy but Midwest McDonalds edition. Couldn’t get past the Evil Father Codename Kids Next Door silly villain. My favorite part of this was when they all gathered around and said Librarians Assemble. weird references to Buddhism for some reason, lazy exposition/muddled structure, cringey mcu type dialogue.  okay sense of setting. Eldritch library is a fun trope but it’s been done in better ways. 
 Although the last scene kinda slays
