ACTION! ADVENTURE! SUSPENSE! INTRIGUE! HIGH-STAKES, LIFE OR DEATH DRAMA! LIBRARIES! What more could you ask for!? Clearly, I enjoyed this book very much and am looking forward to reading the next one in the series. It reminded me a lot of "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" and "Harry Potter." There's an engaging cast of characters and the premise is original. I liked getting to know the characters and delving into this alternate universe.
