i really liked this! the story is new and refreshing and captivating, the plot twists are unexpected and the foreshadowing is immaculate.
sadly, i read a spoiler about librarian claire's past so i wasn't surprised when the grand reveal rolled along- except i was, because there was more to it than i thought. as i said, the plot twists are Amazing!!
also, i loved the play with basic book categories like heroes and villains and damsels, and how at the end, we realize that they don't matter, because villains are capaple of heroics, and damsels are people, too.
also, i loved how at the beginning of the chapters, we get an insight in the librarian's log and- yeah i just loved basically everything about it.
