![]() It just clicked and I needed to know more about the world.īut the first book ends with one of the worst cliffhangers I ever encountered (I’m glad I listened to the warnings and bought both books when I did) and then it just goes downhill. Even the instalovey romance and the weird focus on fertility as womanhood didn’t especially bother me. Even though it’s quite a dark and fucked up book, there’s a real childlike sense of wonder present too and I couldn’t help but read on and on and on for most of the first book. The vibes with Lazlo dreaming about strange, unknown places and stories and working in the library were exquisite. This book had one of the strongest beginnings I’ve seen. When he gets the opportunity to go along with the party led by a warrior known as the Godslayer and help save the city he knows so much about, he jumps at the opportunity. It’s his passion and subject of much obsessive research. ![]() Lazlo, an orphan and a junior librarian, has dreams of the strange lost city of Weep. That’s the trouble of books based purely on vibes, when they lose you, they lose you. ![]() Well, when I finally gave it a try, it turned out to be a little bit of both – very atmospheric at the start, but after the egregious cliffhanger ending of the first book and the plot devolving into a mess in the second, I slowly lost interest. ![]() Would I like it, would I hate it? The reviews were unclear. I have been on the fence about reading this series for a long, long time. ![]()
