I AM FINALLY DONE!!

Okay, first off. I really enjoyed this book a lot. Honestly, if it wasn't for school being so hectic and not having time to read, I would have finished this in a few days. But despite that, I really loved this book.

I don't know how else to describe this book except that it is very very strange, unique, and whimsical. And this combination makes for a very entertaining read. I'm honestly so impressed with the details and the world-building, especially considering this book is a standalone. I loved the setting and the whole concept of the Booksellers, and I honestly wish I could visit the Old Bookstore because it sounds like a dream come true.

Merlin was probably my favourite character. I totally imagine him as Klaus from The Umbrella Academy the entire time. The underlying romance actually didn't annoy me at all. It was kind of cute and not too distracting from the plot.

Susan as a character felt very realistic to me. She's quite passive through most of the book and has no idea what is going on, but I didn't mind that much. The story and the plot really carried this book, and while the end did tie up quite nicely and almost too perfectly, I didn't mind. This whole book just has a very cool vibe and you kind of get sucked in for the ride.

Highly recommend!
