Week 32 Review: The Book That Wouldn't Burn

From Goodreads:

Two strangers find themselves connected by a vast and mysterious library containing many wonders and still more secrets, in this powerfully moving first book in a new series from the international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of Thorns.

The boy has lived his whole life trapped within a book-choked chamber older than empires and larger than cities.

The girl has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust, where nightmares stalk and no one goes.

The world has never even noticed them. That's about to change.

Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I've enjoyed his other books, and I was excited to pick this one up-that it's about libraries, of course I knew I had to read it! It was such a great book, and I'm so glad that I picked it up!

This world was so interesting to read, of library that is said to have a copy of every book written, that's such a cool idea! I would never leave, so I could keep reading these books! But it's not like there wasn't drawbacks of the library. 

Livira and Evar were both really great to read about! She's an outsider, and is getting to know this new environment. Evar doesn't remember a time he wasn't there, and I loved watching as their story came together, as events happened!

I wanted to know what secrets that the library was keeping, and how that was going to affect people. While things took a minute to get going, once they did, I just had to keep reading and finding out what was going to happen next! 

Loved reading this book and I can't wait to see where the series goes!
