I’d of given it 4 stars but Nancy’s refusal to accept Will as not being to blame for his family’s choices in book 1 really irritated me.

A Spellbinding, Thought-Provoking Journey Through Books and Souls**

The characters are wonderfully complex, especially Claire, the fierce librarian who guards the unwritten books. Her journey, alongside fallen muse Brevity and the heroically unexpected demon Leto, is filled with heart, wit, and a sense of wonder. Their adventure through realms of Heaven, Hell, and everything in between tackles themes of identity, redemption, and the consequences of untold stories in a way that feels both grand and intimate.

Hackwith’s writing is beautifully crafted, balancing humor, action, and introspection with perfect pacing. I found myself completely immersed in the world she created—a world where words have power, characters have wills of their own, and libraries hold the keys to untold destinies.

I can’t wait to read the other books in the series.

Why did it take me so long to finally pick this book up? The last few pages had me crying so hard and when I finally realised the connection I audibly gasped.
Such a great book.
