Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine

5.0

I know I discovered this book a long time ago, and it was in my TBR, but I had forgotten about it until I saw it in another's friend Goodreads and then I HAD to read it. Just finished it and longing to buy the second book in the series.
A mixture of fantasy and science fiction because it's set in a future where magic is the way to share books, instead of print. The Great Library of Alexandria controls all the knowledge and shares it with an alchemy process to everyone connected to it through a type of tablet called Codex. Each earth inhabitant has one and it's where all the knowledge approved by the Library is shared.
Original books are forbidden and it's a crime to hide and trade them. Of course, there is a flourishing trade in books and not everyone uses them for the same purpose.
I am so willing to get again into this world.
