A boy has lived his whole life trapped within a vast library, older than empires and larger than cities.
A girl has spent hers in a tiny settlement out on the Dust where nightmares stalk and no one goes.
The world has never even noticed them. That's about to change.
Their stories spiral around each other, across worlds and time. This is a tale of truth and lies and hearts, and the blurring of one into another. A journey on which knowledge erodes certainty, and on which, though the pen may be mightier than the sword, blood will be spilled and cities burned.
I loved this!! I really enjoyed reading this book, it kept me engaged the whole time. I thought it had excellent political/social dynamics and its twists and turns never failed to surprise me. The only part I didn’t like is that much of the book’s climax and game changing plot points happen in the last 200 pages. I will definitely read the next book in this series. I can’t stop thinking about this book!
