Week 36 Review: Sword and Pen

From Goodreads:
With the future of the Great Library in doubt, the unforgettable characters from Ink and Bone must decide if it's worth saving in this thrilling adventure in the New York Times bestselling series.

The corrupt leadership of the Great Library has fallen. But with the Archivist plotting his return to power, and the Library under siege from outside empires and kingdoms, its future is uncertain. Jess Brightwell and his friends must come together as never before, to forge a new future for the Great Library . . . or see everything it stood for crumble.

My Review:
Man, this was such a fantastic book! After the ending of the last book, I didn't know how they were going to strike that balance of keeping their so called allies from coming in and tearing them apart and actually keeping those people as allies. It was touch and go in a lot of moments, but was so great to read!

Jess grieved for his brother, which lead to some not so great decisions. Especially when they're fighting for the existence of the library. But there were some really cool moments, like when Poseidon rose, or the tomb!

One thing that I loved about this book was that we were in so many different people's heads. Like, the first book we were only in Jess's head. And it seems with each book, we were in more and more POV's, as this book seemed to have the most of all the books. Yeah!

There were two main threats. The various kingdoms who wanted to take over the library, and the Archivist. That meant there was one enemy outside the gates, and one within, which yeah, fighting enemies on two sides isn't a good position to be in!

This book was an excellent end to this series, I really enjoyed it, though I'm sad to say goodbye, it was a fantastic ending!
