Thank you to William Morrow for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own. 

Let me start off by saying that I adored The Book of Doors. I thought it was such an inventive take on magic and the idea of a secret library society that was determined to protect them. I was so looking forward to reading this book. It’s adjacent to the same world in Doors, existing within the same space but not a direct sequel. 

And I’m so sorry to say The Society of Unknowable Objects is not only knowable, but kinda boring. Doors had such a great hook at the start to pull you into the story. This one wanted to, but it was so “mysterious” it just came across as confusing. I was struggling to connect with the characters and the objects they were determined to protect. I think it was jumping in time between chapters but it was so hard to tell. I was lost, I was bored, and I was forcing myself to continue reading. 

I hate that this is a DNF for me. I wanted to love it, I really did. It fell flat for me.
