Esta es la tercera entrega en la saga The Great Library de Rachel Caine que descubrí hace poco. Realmente me emociona y le tengo muchas ganas al resto de la saga. (Aquí está mi reseña del primer libro con más información sobre de qué se trata exactamente.)
“No one with a book is ever alone, even in the darkest moments.”
Admito que esta saga no me parece una maravilla en ningún aspecto, ya que no encuentro nada en particular que resaltar. Los personajes están bien, la escritura está bien y la ambientación es fenomenal, pero eso es todo. Estoy disfrutando muchísimo la lectura y es de lo más entretenida. ¡Me encanta! Aunque tengo que decir que no me parece nada de otro mundo. La amo, si, pero no me parece algo excepcional. Así que eso es todo lo que tengo que decir sobre esta lectura xD
“Because when next we meet in your Christian heaven or my pagan afterlife, or some shadowy, hidden corner where those two may touch, I want to hear that you lived a long and happy life after me. That you did as you liked, and loved as you liked, and left the world shattered and empty in your wake.”
Ash and Quill fue un libro que me encantó, muero por su continuación, se los recomiendo si les interesa porque realmente vale la pena y me viene gustando mucho. PERO no me parece taaaan maravilloso ni siento la necesidad de recomendarlo por todos lados.
“In bocca al lupo." It was a phrase that the High Garda used to wish one another luck traveling through the Translation portals, a process that was painful and terrifying and dangerous in equal measure, and it seemed right about now. In the mouth of the wolf. "Crepi il lupo," thomas responded as Jess's cell was locked tight, and the he was gone, prodded down the hall and to the outer door and away. Kill the wolf.”

This was definitely my least favourite in the series so far, I enjoyed the first half but the second half really dragged for me for some reason. I’ll be sticking with it though and seeing where book #4 goes.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book was super stressful and heart pounding till the very end! There was no rest for this group. But what the hell is Jess thinking!?? Obviously have to wait to see how this grand plan plays out in book 4 before I decided his character is an idiot.

I really enjoyed this one! Lots of danger, and everyone wants to kill and /or use our main characters. Its a fairly face paced book, and lots of danger around every corner.

Wow. The Great Library strikes again. I like this next step alot, though not as eventful as the other, still action packed. And the ending, while giving you a bit of explanation leaves a huge cliffhanger! So ready for #4!

This series is perfection! It's hard to put down and I'm in need of the next book and also afraid of what will come next. The cast of characters are some of my all time favourites.

There's something compelling about this series, about a corrupted all-powerful Library and a groups of scrappy people willing to sacrifice anything and everything to bring it back to what it could be.
But there's also a lot that's depressing about this book, with its layers of betrayal and the devastation of what they are willing to sacrifice. Death and destruction. Deadly games of chess. I want to know...but I'm not really having fun anymore, and I'm mostly sad and disgusted with the characters.
