Set in an alternate reality where the library in Alexandria wasn't destroyed and now the Great Library controls the flow of information though books in their codex and the ownership of original books is outlawed. Jess comes from a family who illegally trades in original books. His father decides to have Jess try to join the library to be a spy for the family. Jess joins a class of library recruits, only 6 of whom will be offered positions in the library. The story was interesting but I wish more

I really liked this! I enjoyed Rachel’s thoroughly original take on a dystopia and I liked the characters and overall plot quite a bit!

Very enjoyable and clever new YA book. I really liked both the characters and the story. Will read the next in series!
