The Library of Shadows by Mikkel Birkegaard
When I came across this story, and read the basic description, I was a bit excited to start it. The first half of the book kept my attention, and the story seemed to be going well. Then about half way through, I felt it stalled. All the things going on just slammed on the brakes, even though things were still be developed leading to the conclusion. Once I got about 3/4 way through, things picked back up. I wasn't overly impressed with the ending, and thought it dragged just a bit (after the climatic finale). Overall, I loved the idea of the story, of how books and reading books create 'energy'.… (more)
There was nothing wrong with this book that I can put my finger on but I just couldn't help but feel disappointed at the end and sad that I could have spent my time reading 400 pages of something more enjoyable.
This was a quick, easy read for the train with books that can become charged when repeatedly read and people with secret psychic abilities when they read, as well as international attempts at conspiracy through the skills.
I really enjoyed this book. It captivated me from the very beginning, a book fantasy to end all book fantasies. The suspense built to such a spell binding conclusion. It was wonderfully written and translated. The characters were so engaging...clear friends and enemies. Loved it.
