This was so much fun. First of all, I LOVE the premise of a girl working in a library where the books have a mind of their own. Elisabeth is a really interesting main character. I like that she starts out very naive and sheltered and over the course of the book she comes into her own and is able to use her knowledge of the library and the books to get the bad guy.

Nathaniel is a great love interest and I adored their flirtatious banter, especially as Elisabeth starts to realize that she can trust him. I like their dynamic with each other. At first I was afraid it was just going to be some ‘damsel in distress’ type situation with her fainting every other page and him coming to her rescue, because those scenes did exist. But then there were also scenes where Nathaniel needed saving and Elisabeth was the one who was there for him. They were both strong in their own ways that complemented the other.

Also, Silas is a great character. I would say ‘side character’ but I think he’s as important to the book as either of the other protagonists.

I do think the book is rushed a little at the end, and I would’ve liked a little more of the world described aside from the libraries. The author writes beautifully and can absolutely set a scene, but the world was a little small, if that makes sense.

I want to go back and read An Enchanment of Ravens, even though I know it received very mixed reviews from readers. It just seems like I will enjoy it.
