Quoting (and adjusting) Mark's words:
“I think Mark Lawrence put everything he had on to these pages”. “Whether that's good or bad, subpar or sublime, depends on the reader.”, and this reader found this novella sublime.
[b:The Book That Wouldn't Burn|61612864|The Book That Wouldn't Burn (The Library Trilogy, #1)|Mark Lawrence|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1673645786l/61612864.SY75.jpg|96381602] is an absolutely fantastic read, and this novella an equally impressive installment, in what it's already one of my favorite fantasy series.
Different stories open to different people, but people that love stories seem to share the same idea, that we are buying tickets for a journey, and to all the lives we don't get to live. Thank you Mark for creating something that so wonderfully reflects our love for books, and what connects us readers.
I'm finally back in this world, and head over heels with it! A special thanks to Charles who brought me back to this world.
I absolutely loved The Book That Wouldn't Burn and finding out that there were a couple of short stories based in the same world....or worlds....was exciting, although I had reservations that they could capture the same magic that the large tome of the first book had. No need to worry though! In 12,000 words Mark Lawrence not only conjures that same magic, but expands upon it and gives a heartfelt ode to stories, books, and the power of the written word too. I loved it and was happy to see some familiar faces appear. Definitely worth a read if you loved BTWB!
