Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

This book features a designer as the principal character, technology, a love for books, typography, secret societies, and some good cryptography principles.

Yes, it sounds like my kind of book, alright. I highly recommend it.

The only real reason for me not to give it 5 stars was the ending. The book always seemed to maintain a good pace, but the ending, even if sufficiently explanatory, felt a little rushed compared to the pace of the rest of the book.

Don't let it keep you from reading, though.

From now on, I will be aware of Mr. Robin Sloan's new books.
