It's not a bad book, it just didn't "click" with me.
The premise is interesting - Edinburgh after some kind of catastrophe (?) with magic known and accepted as normal.
Ropa is perhaps too mature for her age at times, but it's easily explained by her situation and having to grow up too quickly, and it's not really a problem.
The Library of the Dead sadly doesn't have a big role in the book.
The mystery and its conclusion was ok, the next villain lurks in the shadows.
