The problem is that it feels like a book with two stories. I was expecting the book to be a fun, fast paced story in the vein of the Invisible Library series, which I really enjoy, but after an interesting start, the story becomes a slow and boring read, that only really picks up towards the end. It’s an interesting premise, the idea that all the unfinished books are stored away in a library in hell and that sometimes the characters can escape from the pages is a very interesting concept. The blurb for The Library of the Unwritten makes the book sound like it is going to be a fun story.
But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong, in a chase that threatens to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell… and Earth. When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto. Along with repairing and organizing books, her job consists of keeping an eye on restless stories whose characters risk materialising and escaping the library. Summary: Join the library and raise hell in the first book of a stunning new fantasy series, where books unfinished by their authors reside within the Unwritten Wing of the devil’s own library, and restless characters will emerge from out of their pages…Įvery book left unfinished by its author is filed away in the Unwritten Wing, a neutral space in Hell presided over by Claire, its head librarian. Due to my apparent obsession with reading any book with the word ‘library’ in the title, I was very much looking forward to reading The Library of the Unwritten.
