2.5 rounded up to a 3. It’s messy. Lol. It’s fun though! I’m not sure I would have been as intrigued by this book without the title and cover. Unfortunately, the story doesn’t quite meet the expectation there. There is a library, and there are dead people, but those things don’t seem to be connected. In fact, a lot of stuff doesn’t feel connected. Still, Ropa is a great MC with a unique, fun voice, and there’s some interesting world building. If you like plot, we’ll there’s a lot of it here, it’s just a bit disjointed. I’m left with several questions so I might check out the sequel, but that means this is a book you probably don’t want to read if you’re not wanting to have to read multiple books to feel satisfied. I might recommend this in the future if someone is looking for a lighter read. It would work well as a chaser for Tansyn Muir’s Locked Tomb books, for example.
