hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen. manches war ein bisschen zu konstruiert (auch aber nicht nur die romance, die mein ship unmöglich gemacht hat), aber alles in allem ein spannendes, gut geschriebenes buch mit liebenswerten charakteren und antagonisten, die vielschichtig sind

I was just so bored and not connecting with any characters at 30%

I feel a little conflicted with this one. It was interesting but it never pulled me in… it started to pick up at the 70% mark (and it’s a 624 pages book) - and by that time, I find I didn’t really care about any of the characters except Collins

A rather good read. The beginning starts off slow and then goes a bit faster after about halfway. I liked the magic concept as I thought it was an original take. The romance is a bit out of left field but it wasn't unwelcome but I'd like it better if it was fleshed out more.

This one was so good. Estranged half-sisters Joanna and Esther haven’t seen each other in ten years, but when their father is killed by one of the magical books he’s devoted his life to protecting, they must reunite to uncover an underworld of magical books and somewhat sinister librarians. The magic system in this book was so unique and fun. I also loved the characters and the banter. And I loved the overlapping multiple viewpoints (this is, I’m realizing, a theme for me).
