As a fan of libraries and fantasy, I was excited to read this book, but the experience wasn't as great as what I hoped for. The book starts off messy, with some confusion about who the main character is.
Early on, not much happens. It’s mostly exposition and world building, but it’s not executed well, making it feel like an info dump. It only really finds its stride and picks up pace later on. But by the end, you're left wanting more.
I feel like that intruige would be over by the next volume. This is a decent start for a new series, but it doesn’t leave you feeling satisfied with just this volume.
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced review copy of this book.
