Jan’s Review
I really enjoy this series each book gives just a bit more of this delightful land where you have to magical factions fighting against each other. In the middle you have these Neutrality that stand as places that do not take sides. Our main character is the custodian of Abernathy an oracular bookstore that answer auguries of those who venture into the store. This part of the series focuses on yet another attack on this wonderful bookstore. I love how Helena world is expanded beyond the bookstore and we get a glimpse of other parts of how this whole world works. The author is fabulous at describing and the reader is immediately drawn into the action and the darkness of what is evolving in this story. Eager to read more.
