Über das Buch

The second volume in the ground-breaking Library Trilogy, following THE BOOK THAT WOULDN'T BURN.We fight for the people we love. We fight for the ideas we want to be true.Evar and Livira stand side by side and yet far beyond each other's reach. Evar is forced to flee the library, driven before an implacable foe. Livira, trapped in a ghost world, has to recover her book if she's to return to her life. While Evar's journey leads him outside into the vastness of a world he's never seen, Livira's destination lies deep inside her own writing, where she must wrestle with her stories in order to reclaim the volume in which they were written.And all the while, the library quietly weaves thread to thread, bringing the scattered elements of Livira's old life - friends and foe alike - back together beneath new skies.Long ago, a lie was told, and with the passing years it has grown and spread, a small push leading to a chain of desperate consequences. Now, as one edifice topples into the next with ever-growing violence, it threatens to break the world. The secret war that defines the library has chosen its champions and set them on the board. The time has come when they must fight for what they believe, or lose everything.The Library Trilogy is about many things: adventure, discovery, and romance, but it's also a love letter to books and the places where they live. The focus is on one vast and timeless library, but the love expands to encompass smaller more personal collections, and bookshops of all shades too.

    "The greater tragedy of our world is not the victims of cruelty, but that so many of those victims would, given the opportunity, stand in the shoes of their oppressors and wield the same whip with equal enthusiasm." This sequel is very different than the previous book: different tone, different writing, different focus. I preferred the first book and couldn't connect with the book that broke the world. The plot consists of a series of adventures aimed at reuniting the characters who were separated at the end of the previous book. The book doesn’t advance the story in terms of character development or worldbuilding. The only new elements are a few new monster species. The story mainly centers around the value of knowledge, but the added depth doesn't make the argument more compelling.

    It's hard to write a review when all I can think about is reading the third book! This was SO good!

    Worthy sequel

    This bookseries touches my heart. The first volume instantly became one of my favourite books, same here with this one. Mark Lawrence is a Genius, I don't know how he does it but his writing style is so unique and beautiful and deep. The characters are multi-layered and everyone has to carry their own burden. It deals with poetic, philosophical, social and moral questions. I like the time concept: everything is connected. If something happens it will matter later. Past/Present/and Future are complexly linked and interwoven. The time-less white assistans, the Exchange, the Portals, the ghosts, the espaces - fascinating. I lost the thread a bit in the middle of the book because it got a bit complicated, but the end was bombastically exciting again
