cogmer reviewed The Book That Wouldn't Burn by Mark Lawrence (The Library Trilogy, #1)
A boy has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires …
Engaging and thought provoking
4 stars
Felt fast paced throughout though there was still plenty of time to get to know the cat on the stairs. Really dig the world building. Takes as a challenge Asimov's “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. Epic in scope, tight in character development. Looking forward to the next in the series.
