You could tell immediately that they wanted each other, but it took quite awhile for them to act on it. I appreciated the slow(ish) burn – this had insta-attraction, but definitely no insta-love. I thought the romance in this was really well written and sweet.I can’t explain how much I loved this concept. The grimoires had personalities and character arcs. I have never read anything like this and found it completely captivating. I loved the concept of the sentient books, or grimoires.It was such a unique character concept and I adored it. I loved watching his warring sides – he is a demon who has somehow grown to truly love humans but can’t survive without consuming part of their life. His character had so much depth and heart. Silas is one of my new favorite side characters of all time.This does have ( very briefly) mentioned queer rep as well as a light romance.Ĭontent Warnings: Death, PTSD What I Liked It’s a high fantasy (it does not take place in the known world) with a low magic system (magic exists but does not have many explicit rules). This is a fantasy novel told in third person from Elisabeth’s POV. Now they’re trying to stop a centuries long plan to destroy the world. But when the Great Library is attacked, Elisabeth has to work with the only people that don’t think she’s the attacker – an evil sorcerer and his demonic servant. SummaryĮlisabeth grew up in the Great Library among grimoires – magical books who whisper to her from behind their iron chains. ARC provided by Simon and Schuster via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
