A fellowship trope or something like that? Either way, I like it! There are a bunch of characters that kind of team up and become a rag-tag troupe throughout the book, which is one of my favorite tropes. Claire has an assistant named Brevity, a muse, who is certainly her foil when it comes to personality. Claire has been a librarian there for hundreds of years, ever since she died and her soul was tied to hell and the library there. We even learn that these can be books that still have the potential to be written or are not even thought up by their authors yet. This is where all of the books that were never written or left unfinished by their authors end up. The book focuses on Claire, a librarian of the Unwritten Library in hell. However, there were just a few things that stuck out to me and dropped my enjoyment a tiny bit. I liked her writing style well enough and the actual skill level was there. The Library of the Unwritten is the first book I have read by this author. If you’re looking for a “book about books” or a “book written for book lovers” or “a book about a magical library,” forget A Sorcery of Thorns and read this instead. Ultimately, the concept was a bit more successful for me than the actual execution was, but I did still like it.
The concept was very cool and I had been excited to read it ever since hearing about it a year ago. I definitely enjoyed this book! I think I’ve decided to give it 3.5 stars overall. Then some stupid git with a cosmic quill fucks you over.“
You begin to think you know which kind of story you’re in. “ The trouble with reading is it goes to your head.
