Only the extraordinary are chosen.
Only the cunning survive.
An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment.
Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage.
And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them, while the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to have world-ending stakes. It’s a race to survive as the six Society recruits are faced with the question of what they're willing to betray for limitless power—and who will be destroyed along the way.

I... am so angry.
These are my immediate thoughts after reading, so bear with me.
But why? I don't get why this? Why?
It feels pointless to have read this book.
The first 75% of the book, I was enjoying so much. Genuinely was having such a good time, and I was excited to read it whenever I picked it up. So WHY.
OLIVIE, WHY. MISS BLAKE, WHY.
She killed off my two favorite characters of this book. Why would you do that? You made, arguably, the main character so... uninteresting. The motivation felt so disconnected from what was happening. It was characte deterioration at its worst, like, I didn't like it at all. And like, what was the point? To say “haha life sucks and people are bad”?
I just don't get it, Olivie. What did you accomplish here? Like, why? Why? Why?
I'm so conflicted.
well, i don't even know how to put it into words tbh.. This series isn't about magic or anything like that, it's about people who have many faults and, well, who can blame them because after all they are human. And you learn to care for these people even against your better judgment.. i loved this because it felt human and frustratingly so.
These books are definitely amid my favourites!!
