In this very bookish adventure, we follow Elisabeth, a guardian-in-training who sees the safe boundaries of her world crumble down when her beloved library is attacked by a monster trapped so far within the pages of a book. Although she manages to defeat it and escape with her life, nothing is the same anymore. With the head of the library gone, she is suspected of dark intentions and has to prove her innocence at the capital city. 
This story is quite fun and lively, with a nice feminist undertone. I do wish the heroin's training appeared more in her actions. We are told she's training as a guardian to work in a library, but the focus is put so much on what she doesn't know and is mysterious that I couldn't fathom what she did know. There was a rather cliché romance with a brooding and tortured man, but it wasn't overly fast. What annoyed me more was how the heartless demon was said not to be interested in sex, which is a very human, asexual trait too often pasted onto psychopaths and evil beings, and how beauty was always related to the palest skin tone possible. 
All in all, if you can get past a few tropes ("she released the sigh she didn't know she'd been holding"), it's a fun page-turner with a heroin who knows what she wants.
