Loved the hook and the premise, but I thought we lost a lot of tension in the middle. I feel like I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I would’ve liked, and I got a little frustrated with the characters not really utilizing the powerful books to their full potential. Or taking steps to defend / protect themselves when someone is actively trying to un-alive them over the course of years. I nearly DNF’d a couple times, but came back to it at the encouragement of a friend. To be fair, the full-circle elements of time travel were satisfying and the narrator was great.

⭐⭐⭐½

Like, fictional friends, I don’t normally recommend this, but in your case, a concealed weapon license could’ve helped out tremendously.

Thanks for reading!

  1. Lol the caption for your selfie. Very witty 🙂

    Great review, my friend! Sounds like a mixed bag. A friend of mine told me that the book reminded her of Neverwhere and Doctor Who. I’m curious if it seemed like either (or both) of them? 🙂

    Hope you have a nice day. Take care, Hayley!

    1. Thanks Alex! You know, honestly, I don’t think I would’ve described it as either of those. The pace felt a lot slower in this one, and without t quite the depth of Who or Neverwhere, but that’s just my take!
