Rating: 3 out of 5

I really liked the fact that this featured the Cemetery of Lost Books and that there was a small intersection between this and the Shadow of the Winds. But it didn’t engage me as much as that first book. I felt it was a bit long for the story it held, and didn’t have the tension to keep my attention fully at all times. Unsure whether I’ll read the third book or not.

Highlighted passage:

“Never accept medals unless they come printed on the back of a cheque. They only benefit those who give them”
