3.5 stars. Imagine if Peaky Blinders met Fahrenheit 451, in a universe where the printing press never got invented. Nobody is allowed to own real books, and instead all original books are controlled by the Library of Alexandria, (that never got burned down), which is also essentially an authoritarian surveillance state. Great concept! But it didn't really start to pick up until the 2nd half, and I didn't really care for the main character. I *am* curious to see how it plays out in the next book! ( )

Excellent story of the love and power of books. Rich characters, magical elements, and great suspense. ( )

I really enjoyed the concept of this book alot. Loved having a male as a lead character and all the other character me met along the way. I really loved the premise and also how the story progressed. The world building was a tad weak but hopefully in future books it will get better!

This had such high ratings and the premise is so awesome, I almost feel bad for giving it such a low star rating. Almost. I couldn't even finish the book or get much past the first 40 pages.

The characters were flat. The descriptions were sketchy enough that the reader has a hard time understanding what is being described. Items that are not in our own existence are just suddenly there, not discussed, and moved on from as if we know it's history, meaning, and function. And at times, the writing was terrible. The last few examples that made me give up:

"Dinner that night was unusually calm and festive."
(I can guess what the author is attempting here, but it falls flat.)

"Couldn't read his expression."
(This is not a sentence, which would be fine if this were the tone of the entire book, but it's not. It's just a random non-sentence.)


I just couldn't see myself continuing.
