About this ebook
Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.
In 48 AD, a fire set by the troops of Julius Caesar destroyed much of the Great Library of Alexandria. It was the first of several disasters that resulted in the destruction of the accumulated knowledge of the ancient world. But what if the fire had been stopped? What would the Library have become?
Fast forward: the Great Library is now a separate country, protected by its own standing army. It has grown into a vast power, with unquestioned and unrivalled supremacy. Jess Brightwell, seventeen and very smart, with a gift for mechanical engineering, has been sent into the Great Library as a spy for his criminal family. Magical spells and riots abound in this epic new YA series.

I found this book an excellent read. The author has clearly an excellent knack for detailing characters. The subject was unusual and kept me hooked all throughout. I am certainly going to see what else she has written.

I just recently purchased this book in my local waterstones. And as soon as I got it home, I started reading it and couldn't stop. Until today; when I finished it. I was sad to see the end of such a good book and I cannot wait to read the rest in the series. The character progression was amazing and I very nearly cried when someone died.
