The Library of the Dead

I loved Ropa and her friends. We don't get a clear explanation how the world got the way it is, but I'm fine with that. I liked how much Ropa did to help her family and other vulnerable people.
The plot jumped around more than I expected. The magic system was a little confusing. The ending felt rushed. And there wasn't enough library in it. However, this is book 1, so a lot of that could be worked on in book 2.
