The Midnight Library

A quick read – but overall an enjoyable novel with a nice message. The beginning of the book, after what I'd call the “introduction” (being vague to avoid spoilers), starts a bit weak; as it portrayed some themes that felt more bleak than expected. Once you get through that section, I found it rounded itself out by the end to a comfortable ending.

Opting for 3 stars instead of 4 stars as I found the direction the book was headed to be pretty obvious maybe 40% of the way into the book. This wasn't a major flaw, but still pulls back some of the tension and wonder when you realize what's happening and how it's going to end so early.
