Faszinierende Welt und Geschichte

Auf YouTube hochgelobt, hat mich "The Book That Wouldn't Burn" auch thematisch direkt abgeholt. Lawrence erzählt eine vielschichtige Geschichte vor dem Hintergrund einer äußerst spannenden Welt. Mehrere Twists lassen sie Geschehnisse immer wieder in neuem Licht erscheinen. Sie könnten teilweise aber etwas expliziter gemacht werden.

Great marathon read that left me wanting more

5 stars

I really enjoyed the story of Livira and Evar, and I especially loved learning more and more about the mysterious library. I found their romance to be emotional and relatable, especially for a straight couple. Unfortunately I feel like the ending didn't quite conclude as much as it just stopped, but I presume it will be picked up again in the next book, for which I await with bated breath. The fact that this book relies heavily on time travel and that I actually LIKED it should be a huge testament to it's strength.
