The Library Of The Unwritten (Paperback)


Join the library and raise hell in the first book of a stunning new fantasy series, where books unfinished by their authors reside within the Unwritten Wing of the devil's own library, and restless characters will emerge from out of their pages...

Every book left unfinished by its author is filed away in the Unwritten Wing, a neutral space in Hell presided over by Claire, its head librarian. Along with repairing and organizing books, her job consists of keeping an eye on restless stories whose characters risk materialising and escaping the library.

When a Hero escapes from his book and goes in search of his author, Claire must track and capture him with the help of former muse and current assistant Brevity and nervous demon courier Leto. But what should have been a simple retrieval goes horrifyingly wrong, in a chase that threatens to reshape the boundaries between Heaven, Hell... and Earth.

Reviews

I found this novel to be a light and entertaining romp through an interesting collection of "realms" with a mish-mash collection of protagonists, not all of whom are human.  The concept of the Library of Unwritten books and characters that can manifest is charming, and so is the grouchy librarian (not to mention Hell's pet gargoyle).  I do, however, find the whole Heaven/angels vs Hell/demons thing to be rather boring and overdone.  At least there weren't any angels falling in love with demons in this one.  The Library of the Unwritten is a fun little urban fantasy novel that isn't too intense and you know things are going to work out alright in the end (more of less).  This is the first book in a completed trilogy, but it can stand alone as is, if readers don't want to continue the series.
