To say that I didn't love this book would be an absolute lie.

This book follows 6 people with unique powers in a modern world where magic is real. These 6 people are offered a unique opportunity to become part of the Alexandrian society, who are caretakers of the lost library of Alexandria. The catch is only 5 of them will be initiated. The 6 will fight to prove themselves the best of their peers but there is always the weakest link. 

The best part of this book is absolutely the characters. While the plot is interesting the character dynamics are incredible, detailed and complicated. I love the way that Blake describes these characters and the way we learn more about them. I read this book and my opinions on certain characters changed completely halfway through because they truly felt like real people that we were slowly getting to know.

While I preferred the characters of this book the plot is still something I loved. It goes into places I didn't think it would and honestly for the majority of this book I had no idea what to expect.

The worldbuilding is brilliant. You get an idea of the abilities that a lot of people have, what is possible and what is theory. Also often when magic exists in something it is set in a medieval time but I love the fact that we got to see how magic would affect everyday contemporary society.

My only issue is though I found everything interesting, there were certain bits in terms of the magic or what they were studying that was just a bit confusing and took me a long time to understand. But I'm very happy about the inclusion of them. Overall 10/10 would recommend.
