The Library at Mount Char

4.5 rounded up

What did I just read?? I had to keep going back to pay attention at the details. For those of you expecting your classic dark academia, nope. There is an element of black widow sort of training, but the worls building, the nature of the library take over that pretty quick.

Our MC is fantastic, and at the same time, we're not necessarily rooting for her. The side characters, especially Erwin, but also David, Michael, Jennifer were great to learn about. Father was also a very compelling character, though i wished we had time to learn more about him.
Like i said, the world was just amazing. And when things went south the stakes were very high. We aren't necessarily invested in Carolyn's emotional quest, we just want her to succeed and see what happens next. There was a lot going on in this book

I highly recommend this for people who like sci fi, a bit of dark academia and mayhem. The descriptions were pretty graphic, especially when describing smells, it really made you be right there in the story, grossed out and graphic.

Absolute batsh*t ride, different, exciting, dark, inventive, just something different to clean your palate (mind you it has very gross moments)
