Ink and Bone

By Rachel Caine

Book Overview

In this exhilarating series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.... Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly--but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden. Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family. Jess has been sent to be his family's spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library's service. When his friend inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe knowledge is more valuable than any human life--and soon both heretics and books will burn....

Unexpected Turns

I read this book in one day. It caught me and I just couldn’t let go. I ran through the gambit of emotions and even laughed out loud a couple of times. Just when you think it’s going one way things take a dramatic turn. I’d say it’s for young adult and up. You won’t regret a second of it! I’m on here to find the next book in the trilogy!!!
