The Library of the Dead

... Most of the novel is dedicated to world-building, and the mystery at the heart of the novel is rather thin, though there are some interesting (though perhaps somewhat predictable) twists and turns in it. The library mentioned in the title is not even the story???s central focus, since the mystery plot occurs primarily outside of it. The main thing holding this book together is Ropa, and it???s fortunate that she is interesting to read about.
