Great characters, nice chemistry, and a neat little magic system make this fantasy/mystery very interesting. And the Glass library! Why can’t I work there? Slow moving but enjoyable, full of detail and sweet, slow-burn, romance, this first in the series hooks you for the rest.

I keep getting in the first chapter and others that I skip to it jumping to the middle or end… it’s annoying and I redownloaded it but idk I wouldn’t risk it if you’re paying money for it

I like science fiction and fantasy, but rarely do you find a book in either genre that is charming. This book is.

Not much to say. It wasn’t thrilling or interesting or compelling or enchanting. Maybe I missed something. Silver magicians? Art magicians? Baker magicians? But no magic in the entire book. A painting that was supposedly magic but no explanation of how or why. I read in bed so maybe I fell asleep to early and missed important details but if its not interesting and I’m falling asleep, another reason for a low rating. I’m sure folks will find this a fun read, but I just didn’t like it.

I’ll probably be following C.J. Archer’s works for the rest of my life! From the moment I first came across the books, I’ve craved more and more. Can’t wait til the next one….I’ll probably just reread all of them until then! They’re so good!!

Love the story and I can’t wait for the next book ☺️👍👍

The Librarian of Crooked Lane is a great follow on series to Glass and Steel. Nice to know what has happened to characters from the Glass and Steel series but also sad to read that a couple of those characters have died. The mystery is well thought out. The chemistry is hot between Gabe and Sylvia. Daisy is a captivating new character. Anxious for the next book in the series.
