Doesn’t that sound amazing? Imagine finding an old book and you are in it? Hooked! So Zachary sets out to discover where this book he is in came from. Then the next chapter you meet Zachary, our MC, he has found an old book in the library and as he’s reading the stories, he discovers the son of the fortune-teller is him and he remembers when he found that door. Then another story from Sweet Sorrows about a boy, the son of a fortune-teller, who finds a painted door and thinks maybe he could open it and go to another world, but he hesitates and so he will not go there yet. Hook 2/2 points: The story starts with an excerpt from an old book called Sweet Sorrows, a story of a pirate and the lady who sets him free and it’s beautiful. Is I have to give full points for writing. I could picture all the magical things about the library and all the books. Writing 2/2 points: Morgenstern has a great writing style, everything is beautifully described. The slow burn ended up being a glacial pace, there were dual timelines telling a story within a story which made it a little hard to keep track of, and the character building was weak. I’m talking a slow burn romance between two men in a magical library hidden underground. The writing was beautiful and the idea behind the plot was amazing.
As soon as I heard there would be another book by the author of The Night Circus, I knew I had to have it. This was one of my most anticipated books of 2019. Who should read this: fans of The Night Circus, fans of elaborate fantasy
