The Left-Handed Booksellers of London by Garth Nix
2.0
I discovered Garth Nix via Sabriel, and I devoured his Old Kingdom series one after the other. He instantly became a favorite of mine and I always look forward to his books or finding books of his.
This book however made me feel like it could be Old Kingdom style, but I was unfortunately let down by the lack of plot and meh side characters and fodder added to the story.
There is such a focus on Left-Handed Booksellers... so you think this would have a focus on books. Not really? They could have been called left-handed plumbers and honestly it wouldn't have changed anything.
It gave me some Gaiman Neverwhere feels at times, but I found that book a lot more fluid and easier to understand.
Overall, I feel sad that I keep falling for Garth Nix books only to be let down.
