I did not like this book. Dont get me wrong, its well written, good characters and an interesting world. It is just the premise of the world i did not personally like. I work as a librarian, and the premise that a library would become the dominate force of the world and turn it into a semi Orwellian world is just, wrong to me. It irks me, so i wont continue this series. Library's are a good thing in this world.
