Ink and Bone

I wanted to love this one. What book-lover wouldn't love a sci-fi about libraries? Unfortunately the characters starved for depth to the detriment of the story. The only character that I thought was well written was Wolfe. Everyone else just had very little to make them human. The premise of this story is excellent, but it lost so much from the characterization being so poorly done. Even the writing is lacking. The cuts between scenes aren't smooth, and there were some areas where the grammar didn't quite fit. I feel like the author should either have nixed the hookups and made it into a middle grade book, or developed the characters more so you didn't feel so ‘eh whatever' when things happened. Disappointing.
