A review by meallenreads
Ash and Quill by Rachel Caine

4.0

Everything is terrible for Jess and his compatriots as they fight to survive both the folks who want to kill them and. . . . the other folks who want to kill them. It's hard, super-dangerous work to fight against the great and powerful Library (Yes, that's a capital "L" thank you very much). It took me forever to read this book and I think--now that I've finished--the problem is with Jess' inner monologue. I think I might have read the word "brittle" and "broken" too many times. Even though I did enjoy the book, and I don't believe the narrative has any gaping holes in it, Caine definitely needs to diversify her descriptions of Jess' tormented psyche.
