Goodreads beskrivning
All sorcerers are evil.
Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a
foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up
among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves
and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into
grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden,
charged with protecting the kingdom from their power.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

Mina åsikter
Jag gillade bokens handling då delar utav den utspelar sig bland magiska böcker, det var häftigt. Har inte läst något liknande innan. Demonerna var också riktigt häftiga och man visste aldrig riktigt när de skulle dyka upp. Jag gillade också det faktum att boken är satt i en historisk setting. Jag gillade karaktärerna väldigt mycket! Tjänaren Silas var grym! Och fick mig återigen att tänka på et faktum att jag gillar karaktärer som inte är helt goda, utan att dem har onda sidor också. Boken var väldigt snabbläst och spännande, samt annorlunda jämfört med böcker som jag har läst tidigare.
