Another world created by Shaffer

I believe I have read everything that Meg Shaffer has written. She’s a newer author, so it isn’t that impressive …. but still. This is important because, I’m really figuring out her vibe.

I won’t go into heavy detail details about her style of writing and her choice of world building and the way she presents both to the reader. It’s a very unique mix of YA and AA (adult adult ha). 

The story is definitely written for all the book lovers out there. Maybe the theme was a little forced, but also it’s a book about books so if you’re going to pick that theme, why not take it all the way? 

I did really enjoy everything about this book. It didn’t blow me away by any stance, but I felt very entertained throughout it.

I saw a few other reviewers mentioning it, so I don’t feel as bad saying, the ending is so obvious yet it caught me by complete surprise. Which was absolutely wonderful. Being surprised by an ending is a little treat for all your time spent.

Another wonderful story by Shaffer and I look forward to reading her next book whatever world that may be in.
