This is the second novel I've read by Daisy Wood, and I love her writing. I admire that this is about a librarian, particularly a royal librarian. One of the first things that captured my attention about the book was the intriguing storyline. However, I felt it took a few chapters to get into the story itself. As the story progressed, I became engrossed and unable to put it down. I was desperate to find out how it would end. My main interest was to see if Sophie would reunite with her sister at some point in the story.
I enjoy books that alternate between two timelines, and I have read several over the years. In this book, I preferred Sophie's story over Lacey's. I did enjoy Lacey's story, but some parts felt a bit slow. I found the parts where she was trying to uncover what happened to Sophie to be particularly interesting, but other parts seemed to drag on. I admired Lacey's determination to uncover the truth about Sophie. There were so many emotions in this book, and I found myself being able to feel every single one of them.
This author has quickly become a favorite of mine. This book is another amazing example of why I love her writing. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.
