The Book Binder's Daughter by Jessica Thorne

4.0

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

This book was just magical!
Magic trees, magic library, magical people, everything!
It was such a unique and interesting read - very much light/dark academia vibes with betrayal, drama and familial secrets!
Our MC, Sophie, was pretty much your average women with her own trauma and loss, trying to deal with new circumstances.
She reconnects with her childhood best friend and things just go up from there
Will and Sophie’s relationship was so wholesome and sweet that I could not stop reading! Even though the book wasn’t super romance-driven, it was definitely a prevalent element and I loved it.
The world-building and lore surrounding the library itself and its people could have had more time to be fleshed out, but overall it was a fabulously magical read!
