4.5 What a beautiful story. I really enjoyed this book and its surprises (I don’t like to give spoilers). The Community House is a surprising place and the librarian, as all librarians are, is magical. I can relate in some way to each story and each one touched my heart. Life’s simple things and what we can do if we think a little differently about our selves and situations. And try new things. And how we interpret stories differently. Libraries are always comforting to me. Sayuri Komachi is a wonderful librarian - she knows what people need. Open up and value ourselves a little more.

Really fun read. Plot-driven, moves at a great pace, was everything I’d hoped the book would be. Flashbacks weren’t intrusive to the current plot events, nor too numerous; anytime we departed the main action for some backstory it was equally captivating. This is the kind of book that makes me delighted to know it’s a series.

I think it had too many different points of view and I didn’t enjoy the back and forth timelines but overall it was a decent story. I really liked reading from the state trooper’s point of view the most.

The story kept me glued to this book. Koontz’s writing is very prosaic and richly descriptive. My first read of this author.

It’s taking me a long time because I’m learning to read it by myself!

This is a great book! The series intrigued me alot and it was fun learning about Lunas adventure as the battle continues. We can all relate to Luna with her adventurous and courageous side. Overall it was great but not my favorite of the series

I thought that I would like the plot more than I did. I am not a huge fan of regency era romance but I do like to read it once in a while. This was not it for me.

This was one of my favorite books of this year so far. I really enjoyed reading about the trial and Lovely’s family history. I haven’t read the second book in this series but I really want to now.

I read this all by myself

It was a funny book and I read it myself
