Ink and Bone (Great Library, #1)

I wasn’t sure I was going to finish Ink and Bone. Because its a FIVE book series and the last two haven’t been published yet. And in the first 100 pages the characters really weren’t that dynamic. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t that great either. Not 5 books great at all.

In the end, the secondary characters still weren’t that well developed. But there was a certain comfort in them because everyone else died!

They idea of the great library, though was interesting and the world well formed. Not enough to keep me reading but enough for me to appreciate.

In the end, I think it was the plot that kept me reading because it so smoothly rolled from one thing to the next. It was unexpected. It was interesting. And then around page 200 and something some of the characters caught up and were more interesting.

I had no intention of continuing in the series, but in the end, even though I don’t LOVE it, and I don’t really want to get drawn into five books, it was all well constructed and satisfying enough that I’d like to read the next one.
