11stars out of 10. Of all the books in the series of "The Cemetery of Forgotten Books", this is the first and the best, which is saying alot. I will return to it again and again. Gothic, haunting, exquisite, a masterpiece.
A story within a story about the wonder and love of books and authors and the adventure they bring to us. Described as bewitching, enchanting, hilarious, and heartbreaking- one gorgeous read.
Overall I enjoyed this book but I found it took a long time to read. I’m a fast reader but it didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere fast in the middle of it. I found the book to be really clever and it did leave me thinking about it afterwards, I almost feel like I’ll miss the characters too after being so invested in reading on to see what happened. Some shocks throughout added to the intrigue and were unexpected. Would recommend.
Loved it! It’s full of mystery and intrigue, themes of life, love, death and regret all portrayed through interesting characters who play very prominent roles within the narrative. I would definitely read it again.
