Bit of a slow start but really really enjoyed it once a bit further in! Ropa was a fun protagonist (but seems older than supposed to be) and I liked her attitude to the new world she lived in. I enjoyed the elements of fairy tale and light horror, as well as the enemies she faced.
Not quite 5* as felt the other characters (Gran especially) and the whole past could be slightly more developed; I have lots of questions that are unanswered (why is THAT a library card?!); and maybe have a bit more on why/what happened between now and when it is set - it is hard to stay focused while this is quite unclear, at the start especially.
I'll definitely pick up the next in the series and hoping to see more magic, and more of the library in the next one!
