Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.
Unfortunately, I could not sink into the book. I am very interested in it though, so maybe I'll try it again at a different time.

the concept is super interesting. i mean, a library in hell that contains all unwritten stories? that's great! overall, it was a good time, but the pacing was a bit off in some parts. i think i liked the characters more than the plot, as i enjoyed the scenes where the characters are just talking and having fun banter. when the story moves to be more action based, i sort of lost interest? the ending isn't my favorite, however i enjoyed the book overall.
