This book makes it a plot point that every book has its own unique voice or song. Well, unfortunately I have to say that this book's voice and me did not vibe at all. I was super excited by the premise of the book - a library of unwritten books that is part of Hell! What a lot of potential! But sadly, I found myself reading page upon page of this book and I was just not in it, my mind kept wandering. This may be due to the, in my opinion, mediocre writing. I think a large problem stems from the fact that conversations are frequently interrupted by entire paragraphs of bloat. This book felt to me like 80% white noise, and somewhere in there was supposed to be a plot, which I honestly couldn't really follow. 

I'm sad to say that I will not read the other two books in the series, fighting my way through this one was enough for me.
