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...

Completely fun book. I loved Smudge, the fire spider with the personality of a dog, a love for Sponge Bob and sweets and hatred of Journey. I think he's one of my favorite sidekicks ever. I liked Isaac and the magic in this book is awesome. All the rules of what can or cannot be done by a librio...

The full review can be found over at the SFF Book Review.A fresh writing style, some cool ideas, and a fire-spider called Smudge. These were the things I loved about the books. I hated the romantic interest, Lena. You can tell the author was trying hard to create a "strong, female character" but she...

I'm enchanted by the idea behind Libriomancer--really, what book lover wouldn't be? Mass reading/belief in a book enables specially trained book-loving readers, known as 'libromancers,' to bring parts of the book into life. 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...
