I wanted to love this book so much. Lena annoyed the ever-loving crap out of me and Isaac was, I thought, too passive for someone who took the kind of risks he took. Smudge was cool and I loved the geek references.On the whole, it wasn't a bad read but I thought there were some consistency issues th...
3.5 stars rounded down because I think the ending was a cop-out. This was an interesting and unique premise which was very welcome. I liked the characters, I liked that although the main character Isaac was sort of on the outs with his agency it wasn't because he had a big mouth or was an asshole. I...

Widely-read readers will be further amused by multitudes of book references...
4.5 stars. If you are both a sci-fi/fantasy nerd and a library nerd, this book will charm your socks off. By page 5, you'll be thinking, "Oh, that's a really cool idea." By page 6, you will be laughing aloud. By page 7, you will desperately want to be a libriomancer. And the rest of the book doesn't...
