The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins
5.0
Carolyn has lived in a strange multi-dimensional library surrounded by psychopaths since she was eight. Ancient enemies of her Father are on the move. But don’t worry, she has a plan.
Strange book, with lots going on. I had to just keep going during some times when I didn’t really understand what was happening, but it does become clear by the end. There are a lot of apocalyptic themes, which made it probably not the best choice while we are practicing social distancing during a global pandemic. But it’s a great read. Four and a half stars rounded up to five.
p.s. there is a fair amount of violence and gore in this book, but it is so over-the-top that it has an almost cartoonish aspect, so it didn’t bug me as much as it otherwise might have.
