7/8/2023 0 Comments The library of the dead huchuShe is supporting her grandmother and her younger sister as they are living in a parked travel trailer on farmland outside the city of Edinburgh. Ropa is a ghost talker, she makes her living giving messages to the living from the dead for a fee. If you enjoy paranormal lite, where the average world is laced with magic, and teens saving the day you'll enjoy this story. I will probably read the next book when it hits Libby just to see if it dives more into the magic and the library. Kind of a "back to where we started" ending. They mystery ended up being a bit obvious and there isn't really any character growth for those we follow throughout the story. Instead of pulling me through the story it left me wondering why we were even given that information. The magic aspects had a lot of moving parts, many which left more questions than answers. The struggles to make ends meet, cops being the ones to fear, and a vast class separation in quality of life, all well written and really brought the setting to life. The world built feels like a future we could be facing. The futuristic poverty and crumbling of a society taken over by the elite is well done. I will give it the benefit of the doubt that a lot of it is set up for the series and will be explore further in future books. This book had a lot of potential, but it feel flat for me with all the various "dazzle" that wasn't explored enough.
