Review: The Library at Mount Char

Title: The Library at Mount Char

Author: Scott Hawkins


Information on series: Standalone book, not part of a series


Genre: Modern-day fantasy

Audience: Adult


Your rating: 4 of 5


TL;DR:  Carolyn is a librarian, but not a type of librarian that you know and love.  She and her family are guardians and masters of all types of knowledge.  When the head of their family goes missing, Carolyn must take action to ensure that the world doesn't fall apart.



Readalikes:
American Gods by Neil Gaiman - Another book that gives us a peek into a world behind our normal, mundane one, where gods vie for power and anything can happen.

Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan - Lighter and less violent, this book is a fun romp through a secret world that only the literary-minded can access.
