This boy who lived in the shadow of his father, risking his life every day for one precious book at a time. To see a series in which the villainous entity is in fact the most powerful library, our favored institution gone horribly wrong? Oh yes, I was totally hooked.Īnd then I read the opening pages. For so many readers, the library represents comfort, safety, and one of the best parts of our childhoods. I have to say that from the very beginning, before I even cracked the cover, I was fascinated with this book. But something dark and twisted has taken root at the core of the institution Jess loves, and as he’s faced with the horrible truth of it, he must decide where his true loyalties lie, and what is worth dying for. When he’s sent to join the Library as a spy for his family, his passions only become stronger: to protect knowledge, to serve an agency created to bring that knowledge to the masses. Jess believes in the rule of the Library, even though his family has built their fortune selling forbidden books on the black market. The Great Library controls all knowledge in a world that’s never known the printing press. New American Library/Penguin/Random House Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads
