I really enjoyed this book, but it’s hard to say why it’s not a five star for me. It started really slow because we got to know all the characters, and while I enjoyed that, it felt like the plot on the back cover revealed the plot 50% in to the book so it took a while to learn new things about the plot. I loved all of these characters and the book/blood magic and found it all fascinating. I would love to read more about this magic world and these characters but the book tied things together nicely. The plot and plot devices felt a little YA I think even in this adult book.

This was a lot more enjoyable than the title gives (random I know but the title turned me off for so long). I liked the premise of the world and the mystery of the parental figures. I figured out most things before the main characters did but it was still fun to read

This was such an unexpected gem. Came for the magical library, stayed for the characters and plot twists.

Super fun, very engrossing and enjoyable. It starts slow but the pace pcks up slowly and the last third is very tense and exciting. None of the revelations were surprising, but it was still satisfying as each question was answered. I also loved how the characters came together and the complexity of the relationships between them.
